Case Study: AkzoNobel streamlines SAP testing with Capgemini

Capgemini’s structured test approach helps AkzoNobel streamline testing efforts in a short time frame

AkzoNobel, a leading global paints and coatings company, faced the challenge of streamlining its complex SAP transformation program, which involved consolidating 26 different ERP systems. The company needed a test strategy that could handle the program's wide scope and very tight deadlines without compromising the quality of its crucial business processes. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor Capgemini for a strategic testing solution.

Capgemini implemented an innovative automated test approach for AkzoNobel, combining SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization and Business Process Change Analyzer tools. This solution enabled the client to significantly reduce regression test cycles and associated risks by identifying exactly which parts of the system were affected by a change. As a result, AkzoNobel's program deadline remained on track with high-quality results, and Capgemini provided full transparency on the system's progress and readiness.
