The implementation of SAP Ariba marks a crucial step in AIC’s journey towards optimizing its procurement processes. As a renowned digital solution for spend management, SAP Ariba equips AIC with the necessary tools to transact with increased agility, achieve sustainable sourcing savings, and build resilient supply chains. This transformative solution empowers buyers within AIC’s ecosystem, granting them unprecedented control over the entire purchasing process while leveraging insights to drive cost savings and maintain ethical sourcing practices.

Rosette Carrao, Partner and Delivery Head at delaware Philippines, emphasized the significance of the SAP Ariba implementation, which encompasses Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, Sourcing, and Commerce Automation modules. These modules are designed to streamline operations and enhance vendor engagement, aligning with AIC’s goal of business transformation through technology.

SAP S/4HANA EAM: Elevating Asset Management

Alongside SAP Ariba, delaware Philippines successfully implemented SAP S/4HANA EAM, marking a significant milestone in AIC’s digital transformation initiatives. As an infrastructure leader, AIC recognizes the importance of prioritizing digitalization in its asset-intensive operations. SAP S/4HANA EAM also addresses the challenges faced by modern asset technicians and operators, enabling effective asset optimization strategies.

The integration of SAP S/4HANA EAM with the previously delivered Finance, Materials Management, and Controlling modules provides AIC with full control over every asset operation. All maintenance orders, including preventive, corrective, and emergency, are now processed via EAM, ensuring centralized information, risk management, and automation. This optimization of asset management processes is also crucial for AIC’s business transformation.

Fostering Collaboration and Growth

The successful implementation of SAP Ariba and SAP S/4HANA EAM at AIC is a testament to the strong partnership between delaware Philippines and AIC. Simone Pigason, Senior Vice President for Customer Success at delaware Philippines, further emphasized the importance of creating a safe, engaged, and collaborative environment for both teams throughout the project and the overall partnership.

To strengthen the relationship between the two organizations and ensure the success of the SAP Ariba and SAP S/4HANA EAM implementation, delaware also conducted a Design Thinking workshop on Business Transformation Management. This workshop focused on project management and served as a gateway to building a lasting, impactful, and valued relationship with AIC.

Raymund Ramos, Head of IT & Digital and Vice President at AIC, expressed gratitude to all individuals involved in this milestone, acknowledging their unwavering support and diligence from the project’s inception until its successful go-live. The commitment of both teams was instrumental in ushering in a new era of efficiency and growth for AIC.

The successful implementation of SAP Ariba and SAP S/4HANA EAM at Aboitiz InfraCapital marks a significant step forward in the company’s digital transformation journey. By leveraging these advanced solutions, AIC is poised to streamline its procurement processes, enhance asset management, and drive operational excellence. The collaboration between delaware Philippines and AIC has been crucial in achieving this milestone, fostering a strong partnership built on trust, innovation, and a shared vision for growth.

Delaware, a global IT and management consultancy and a leading SAP partner in Singapore, continues to deepen its SAP S/4HANA capabilities with its recent partnership with SAP data management and data transformation expert Datavard. The two SAP partners will be collaborating on projects that would help bolster business transformation and SAP S/4HANA migration of Delaware Singapore’s customers.

Christophe Derdeyn, partner at Delaware Singapore said:

“This partnership with Datavard will support Delaware during the transformations of the digital core of customers in Singapore. With Datavard’s specialist experience around data transformations and data management, this partnership should greatly benefit the digital transformation journeys of companies in Singapore. Delaware has always committed to providing the best solutions to the market, and we are very excited about this partnership and the possibilities it offers.”

SAP Partners Enabling Customers’ SAP S/4HANA Migration

Both Datavard and Delaware bring into the partnership their SAP experience, expertise, tools, and solutions that enable customers to seamlessly embark on an SAP S/4HANA journey.

Delaware is a leading SAP S/4HANA implementation partner that has been consistently recognised in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SAP S/4HANA Application Services, Worldwide. According to Delaware, Gartner’s recognition reflects the company’s investment in SAP S/4HANA application services resources, tools, and industry knowledge. In Singapore, Delaware is the only SAP partner with competence in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud deployments.

Meanwhile, SAP Silver Partner Datavard adds to the alliance its expertise on migration, data warehousing, big data landscape design, cloud migration or system harmonization for SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW/4HANA. Under the partnership with Delaware, the Heidelberg-headquartered firm will be providing tools such as the Datavard Transformation Suite (DTS) to enable a secure and efficient SAP S/4HANA migration for Singaporean customers. DTS, an Abap-based, standardised, efficient solution, supports SAP migrations of all types and approaches.

Derdeyn said earlier in a Technology Magazine, Singapore article:

“By using the tools that Datavard provides, we can ensure that instead of having a downtime of several days for the migration – which our customer simply cannot afford – they won’t experience downtime of more than 10 hours.”

Rising with SAP

As SAP partners, both Delaware and Datavard have confirmed their support on SAP’s Business Transformation-as-a -Service cloud offering RISE with SAP.

Delaware International, the international structure that binds all Delaware practices across the world, was one of the first SAP partners that have committed support to SAP’s subscription-based offering. 

“Running cloud solutions from SAP in its own core operations, Delaware is thrilled to advise its customers for cloud adoption as it enables innovation while moving forward steadily. Delaware strongly believes that RISE with SAP will become the reference for customers evolving into intelligent enterprises,” said Eric Hiernaux, Managing Director at Delaware International, in an SAP article.

As an SAP Gold Partner, Delaware’s proven expertise and experience in SAP technology back customers’ business transformation journey. The consulting firm offers FAST-2-S/4 solution, an SAP-qualified solution that allows companies to technically migrate to SAP S/4HANA with minimal throughput time and overhead. In addition, Delaware also offers S/4HANA accelerators, which are tools and techniques developed in-house to streamline and shorten customer’s migration process.

Similarly, Datavard has also expressed its support to RISE with SAP during a live fireside chat on “RISE with SAP and S/4HANA Accelerated with Selective Data Transformation” held earlier this month. The panelists, including Datavard APJ’s Managing Director Ulf Spies, shared insights on how selective data transformation (SDT) can help customers transform data with maximum flexibility in relation to RISE with SAP.

Spies said that SDT strikes a balance between different approaches, helps move historic data selectively with minimum business disruption, and merges multiple systems in one environment. He added that SDT complements partners with much more diverse offerings to their standard brownfield or greenfield offerings.

Emphasising the complementary role of SDT with RISE with SAP, Chern-Chuen Khor, COO for SAP Southeast Asia and the event moderator explained:

“Retaining critical data and process configuration and innovating through a new RISE with SAP implementation in the cloud do not have to be mutually exclusive. That’s where SDT comes into play, allowing companies to strike a balance between flexibility and risk, to not throw the baby out with the bathwater.“
