Case Study: Dorset County Council boosts forecasting efficiency with Capgemini's SAP planning solution

Dorset County Council - Customer Case Study

Dorset County Council, facing pressure to improve efficiency with fewer resources, struggled with a cumbersome manual monthly forecasting process. This offline spreadsheet model was inconsistent, required extensive manual effort, and lacked integration with core systems. To overcome these limitations, the council partnered with vendor Capgemini for a new automated solution.

Capgemini designed and implemented a forecasting solution using SAP’s Integrated Planning functionality within the SAP Business Warehouse platform. This automated system streamlined data integration and provided powerful modeling tools. The results were substantial, including headcount savings, a standardized process across the council, and significantly improved financial reporting and cash flow management. The solution provided Dorset County Council with a rapid and quantifiable payback on its investment.
