Vodafone Group: 85% of core business processes standardized across 24 countries
Project Achtergrond
Vodafone Group needed to give its customers amazing service and deliver a better user experience to every employee. With SAP’s help, Vodafone created a single digital foundation based on SAP S/4HANA and deployed it across mission-critical areas like HR, procurement, finance, and more. Now with one version of the truth, Vodafone runs its global enterprise everywhere with greater confidence and consistency.
Probleemstelling van het project
Consolidate various system landscapes with global consistency It is hard to imagine a technology changing the modern world more than the smartphone. Every day, there are millions of us who use a single device to talk with friends, take videos, share photos, check e-mail, get driving directions, or go shopping. As one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, Vodafone Group connects more than 300 million people worldwide. Vodafone believes that tomorrow’s communications services will continue to transform our lives in powerful ways. Company leaders are already preparing for this future by making significant changes – starting from within. “Vodafone has been growing in recent years to strengthen its portfolio of services and expand into new geographies,” says Ignacio Garcia, CIO of Corporate Information Systems at Vodafone Group. Garcia explains that growing through acquisitions resulted in various system landscapes and often inconsistent business practices throughout the group of companies. “We needed to operate as a single global organization and drive further innovation across the entire business,” Garcia notes. “To do that, we needed to run our company with a consistent, digital-first focus.”

Doelstelling van het project
Migrate complex and disparate ERP environment to SAP S/4HANA The need for global consistency led to big changes at Vodafone. The company migrated its complex and disparate ERP environment to SAP S/4HANA to help accelerate the pace of innovation with support for end-to-end processes and intelligent technologies. Vodafone digitalized key business areas with rollouts of SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, and SAP Concur solutions. While this was a massive transformation covering more than twenty countries, Vodafone and the project benefited from some strong partnerships along the way. This included support from implementation partner Accenture plc, SAP Services and Support, and customer success experts from SAP.
