The SAP ACE Awards, now in its 17th year, continues to honor enterprises that have notably integrated technology to enhance ease of doing business. This year, the spotlight was on Indian organizations that adopted a ‘digital-first’ strategy, underscoring their commitment to progress through technological innovation.

The SAP ACE Awards, initiated by SAP, a global leader in enterprise application software and cloud solutions, have become a benchmark for business excellence and technological innovation. The awards also highlight and commend the endeavors of organizations that have excelled in integrating technology into their operations, thereby transforming their business models and contributing to the broader digital ecosystem.

The Essence of the SAP ACE Awards

At the heart of the SAP ACE Awards is the recognition of companies that have not only adapted to but also thrived in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. This year’s edition also placed particular emphasis on those who have made significant strides in facilitating ease of business operations through digital solutions. Furthermore, the awards evaluate contenders in two primary categories: ‘The Game Changers’ and ‘The Disruptors’, both representing different facets of technological innovation in business.

The SAP ACE Awards’ evaluation process is rigorous, involving a three-level assessment by a distinguished jury. This jury, appointed by the SAP India User Group (INDUS), ensures an impartial and comprehensive analysis of each nominee. Additionally, the selection process reflects the depth and breadth of innovation and transformation across various business sectors.

The 2023 Edition: A New Direction

The 2023 SAP ACE Awards introduced new categories, aligning with the evolving business environment while maintaining the integrity of its evaluation process. These categories cover a wide range of business functions, including Supply Chain, Procurement, Customer Experience, Finance, Manufacturing, and Human Capital.

Kulmeet Bawa, President and Managing Director of SAP India Subcontinent, highlighted the awards’ significance in the current global context. He emphasized the role of the SAP ACE Awards in showcasing India’s leadership in technology and innovation. Bawa pointed out that the winners represent the transformative power of digital innovations and the vast possibilities they open up for businesses in India and beyond.

A Glimpse Into the Winners

The 2023 edition recognized 15 enterprises, each demonstrating exceptional use of digital technology to enhance various aspects of their business. Some notable winners included Daikin Airconditioning India Pvt. Ltd. for Best Customer Experience Management and Sony Pictures Networks India for Best Finance Transformation. Moreover, these organizations, among others, exemplified the transformative impact of technology on business operations.

In addition to the main categories, the awards also conferred special recognition in areas such as Customer Experience Management, Enterprise-wide Transformation, and Supply Chain Transformation. Companies like Fabindia Ltd. and L&T Construction & Mining Machinery were acknowledged for their outstanding contributions in these areas.

The SAP ACE Awards 2023 not only celebrated the achievements of the winners but also set a standard for others to aspire to. These awards underscore the critical role of digital technology in shaping the future of business and the economy. As companies continue to navigate the complexities of the digital era, the SAP ACE Awards stand as a testament to the power of innovation and the endless possibilities it holds for transforming businesses and driving growth.

Vedanta Group’s Hindustan Zinc Limited wins two prestigious awards at the recently held SAP ACE Awards 2020 ceremony.

SAP ACE Awards is SAP India’s industry benchmark that recognizes and honors India’s best-run businesses that demonstrate notable business impact through technology-led innovation with SAP solutions.

This year is the 14th year of SAP ACE Awards, and with the COVID-19 pandemic still at large—like so many other events—the ceremony was held virtually for the very first time.

One of the big winners of SAP ACE Awards 2020 is Hindustan Zinc Limited. The Udaipur-based zinc and lead producer’s ‘Evolve Project’ and ‘Project Confluence’ acquired the following awards:

  • Customer Excellence – Sales, Marketing & Service for ‘Evolve Project’
  • Sourcing Excellence – Large Enterprise for ‘Project Confluence’

Hindustan Zinc Limited’s CEO, Arun Misra, expressed the company’s increased ambition to further cultivate technology-led innovation in the organization. He said:

“Our digital platforms, Evolve and Confluence are both trendsetting innovations by the young minds at Hindustan Zinc and have made ease of business a reality for our customers and vendors. It is a reflection of our belief that smart operations enabled by cutting-edge technology is [sic] the key to sustainable business. The recognitions by SAP Ace Awards motivate us to further drive a culture of digital transformation.” 

Hindustan Zinc Limited’s Evolve Platform

Evolve is Hindustan Zinc Limited’s online buying platform for non-ferrous metals; the platform is the first of its kind in India and is powered by SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) and SAP’s Business technology Platform. The digital network connects communities and buyers on single platform and offers a hassle-free experience with a “three-click buying option for zinc, lead, silver, and acid.”

During the launch of the project, Misra explained how the new online platform aims to revolutionize non-ferrous metal buying experience for customers:

“Evolve stands for our vision to offer to our customers—especially MSMEs—a hassle-free experience of buying our product online with the convenience of smaller [sic] size of buy and dynamic pricing. In the sphere of online shopping experience, Evolve will enable us to contribute immensely to the ecosystem of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.”

Project Confluence

Project Confluence is Hindustan Zinc Limited’s SAP Ariba implementation project that began in 2018. The project is one of the first such initiatives in India covering the entire process on the SAP Ariba platform. 

Project Confluence covered the implementation of the following SAP Ariba solutions:

  • Commerce Automation
  • Supply Chain Automation
  • Auction Platform
  • Catalogue Management
  • Contracts Management
  • Pre-Purchase Order and Post-Purchase Order Collaboration
  • B2B Integration
  • Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

Since going live with SAP Ariba solutions, Hindustan Zinc Limited has successfully digitalized the entire Procure-to-Pay process of the company.
