Decision Inc. UK completed the global implementation of SAP Planning at URENCO to streamline its operations and enhance its business intelligence (BI) capabilities.
The Requirement
In November 2010, URENCO initiated a worldwide upgrade to a global instance of SAP ECC6. Previously, sites were using different instances of SAP R3 4.7. Beyond this, URENCO decided to undertake a wide-ranging implementation of a new financial reporting and forecasting tool.
The project was divided into two phases:
- Phase 1: replace manual, spreadsheet-based budgeting and forecasting, which was prone to human error, lacked consistency and took four months to complete
- Phase 2: implement a financial consolidation solution
Following the initial SAP upgrade, SAP Business Consolidation System (BCS) was implemented as an interim solution for financial consolidation. However, the organisation decided that a more permanent long-term solution was needed.
