Case Study: a leading construction and mining equipment manufacturer achieves faster financial reporting with TekLink SAP BPC on HANA

Self Service Planning and Analysis leveraging BPC Standard on HANA

TekLink worked with a leading construction and mining equipment manufacturer, a Fortune 500 company that designs and sells heavy machinery, engines, financial products, and insurance through a worldwide dealer network. The corporate accounting team needed a more flexible and secure planning and consolidation platform with mature planning features, stronger performance, better alignment to SAP, and reports that stayed as close as possible to the legacy templates to minimize change management.

TekLink implemented SAP BPC Standard on HANA with SAP BW and SAP HANA, designing templates and reports to mirror the old system while improving maintainability and reducing errors. TekLink also handled parallel testing, migrated 11 years of historical data, supported submission control for on-time closing, and simplified year-over-year rollover. The result was significant cost savings, no critical data integrity issues, compliance with enterprise security standards, elimination of legacy fees, and a major performance improvement as consolidated reporting dropped from 1.5 to 2 hours to less than 10 minutes.
