Case Study: a leading real estate developer boosts project capacity and market share with IBM and SAP solutions

Managing more projects with the same headcount to capture new market share

A leading real estate developer sought to increase its market share by managing more construction projects annually without having to increase its operational costs or headcount. Its challenge was hindered by inefficient, manual, and disconnected business processes. The company partnered with IBM Global Business Services to address this.

IBM implemented a suite of SAP solutions, including SAP ERP and SAP Supplier Relationship Management, supported by IBM Power servers running AIX. This provided automated, integrated processes. The results included a 30% faster quarterly financial close, the elimination of paper-based approvals, and improved supplier management. These efficiency gains enabled the developer to take on additional projects and increase its market share without adding personnel.
