Initial Situation
A multinational company with 12,000 SAP users is migrating to a new procurement platform (simple system). The old catalog performs poorly, the new platform has better capabilities and features. Normally, such a migration would require 6-12 months of training, change management and go-live support. Management expects rapid transition to realize savings. Traditional change management with training and separate logins costs €150,000-€300,000 and ties up the IT team completely.
Your Solution with simple system
- OCI Punchout is configured between SAP and simple system
- User training is optional – the system is self-explanatory
- The UI of the system is like a B2C online shop
- Go-Live: Old catalog links in SAP are redirected to simple system Punchout
- Users feel comfortable immediately – order like always
- Support team handles questions about the new platform, not about migration or login
- Roundtrip data flow ensures all orders are visible
Result: 12,000 users are migrated in 4 weeks. Training costs 80% lower, change resistance minimal.
Your Benefit
- Time savings: Migration of 12,000 users in 4 weeks instead of 6-12 months, training costs -80%
- EBIT impact: +€160,000 (training) + €150,000 (change management) + €3,750,000 (6 months earlier savings realization) = +€4,060,000
