Case Study: T-Systems South Africa achieves 76% improvement in hospital profitability with SAP HANA

What’s the Answer When Lives Are at Stake Amidst Soaring Costs and Risks

T-Systems South Africa helps healthcare providers tackle rising costs, operational and regulatory complexity, and software fragmentation that can block new hospital openings or stall digital change. Hospitals in developing markets struggle with high startup and change costs, paper-based processes and siloed systems that undermine decision‑making, patient visibility and fiscal governance.

T-Systems delivered a repeatable healthcare‑as‑a‑service on a partner‑managed cloud, certified as powered by SAP HANA, packaged in an OPEX model and deployed at the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. The integrated solution—single patient master index, real‑time financials‑to‑bedside workflows and hosted services—can be implemented in 3–4 months, has a 100% on‑time/on‑budget record and delivered a 76% improvement in hospital profitability while improving care quality and reducing provider risk.
