Case Study: a global building materials manufacturer streamlines SAP implementation with BPM-D

Enabling SAP Implementation through Process

A global building materials manufacturer faced a challenge preparing for an aggressive SAP system implementation. The UK branch of the company had outdated and technically focused process models that did not reflect its current operations, creating a risk of critical issues at go-live. They engaged BPM-D, which applied its Process Led Systems Implementation methodology to provide a practical and structured approach to evaluate the impact of the new system and properly plan for it.

BPM-D enabled the journey by training the internal team and conducting workshops to quickly document 186 SAP-relevant processes. This allowed the company to identify all areas where the new system would not support current practices, enabling them to address these gaps through configuration or process redesign before go-live. The results maximized the return on the SAP investment and provided the company with a solid BPM foundation, new capabilities, and business transparency for future success.
