| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | Capgemini | 2024 | 2024 |
In 2024, Airbus implemented SAP S/4 HANA as part of an ERP Financial migration for Airbus Helicopters, migrating from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 with Capgemini engaged as the systems integrator. The program targets core financial consolidation for the helicopter business unit and aligns the Airbus SAP S/4 HANA deployment with enterprise reporting needs in the ERP Financial domain.
Configuration work centered on standard financial modules and accounting capabilities common to an ERP Financial rollout, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset accounting, intercompany accounting, and period end close orchestration. The project also emphasized master data harmonization and central finance patterns to unify chart of accounts and transactional finance processes across Airbus Helicopters.
The implementation is combined with a BW/4 analytics layer deployed on IBM Power 10 infrastructure, establishing a data warehousing and reporting pipeline between SAP S/4 HANA and the BW/4 platform. Architecture and deployment reflect a tightly coupled SAP application stack on IBM Power 10 infrastructure, with integration touchpoints for transactional interfaces and consolidated reporting within the Airbus finance estate, and delivery executed in collaboration with Capgemini and Airbus enterprise teams.
Governance and rollout were organized under enterprise architecture oversight, with an Enterprise Architect assigned to the Airbus Helicopters migration project and a hybrid delivery model supporting design, testing, data migration, and cutover governance. Process redesign focused on standardizing financial workflows and establishing control frameworks for the SAP S/4 HANA environment, aligning operational finance functions to the new ERP Financial platform.

In 2014, Airbus implemented JobMatch ApplicantPro as an Applicant Tracking System on its public careers website to centralize candidate intake and application processing. Airbus deployed JobMatch ApplicantPro Applicant Tracking System to support corporate recruiting, enabling structured job postings, online application forms, and centralized candidate records. The implementation is web-facing, embedding the JobMatch ApplicantPro application into Airbus careers pages to capture external applicants.
Configuration efforts focused on standardizing applicant workflows, status tracking, automated candidate communications, and resume intake typical of Applicant Tracking System deployments, with configuration of job requisition templates and role-based access for recruiting teams and hiring managers. Operational coverage centers on talent acquisition and recruiting functions across Airbus, using the JobMatch ApplicantPro platform to orchestrate screening queues and interview scheduling workflows. Governance emphasized workflow standardization and centralized application data to improve recruiter handoffs and candidate status reporting.

| SparkCognition | Legacy | SparkCognition Maana | Asset Performance Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017 Airbus began a proof of concept using SparkCognition Maana as an Asset Performance Management platform, branded internally as AIRKOG. AIRKOG was initiated to reduce time engineers and technicians spent searching for information by organizing enterprise expertise and industrial data into a computational knowledge graph. The program moved to pilot in 2018 and into production in 2019, and Airbus Commercial and Maana extended their partnership for 2021 to 2023.
SparkCognition Maana's implementation centers on a computational knowledge graph that identifies relations and correlations, implements computations, and runs multivariate analysis across multiple operational domains. Functional capabilities implemented include large scale data consolidation, knowledge modeling, computational rule engines, and analytics workflows to support complex processes such as new parts introduction, margin review analysis, and electrical harness configuration management. The platform exposed question answering and investigative workflows for subject matter experts, providing an intelligent interface for complex maintenance and manufacturing queries.
AIRKOG consolidated data from tens of different systems into a single platform, enabling cross system queries that span engineering, sourcing, ordering, and manufacturing data. The operational scope covered multiple plants within Airbus Commercial operations and supported business functions including engineering, procurement, manufacturing operations, and margin management. Use cases implemented include managing head of version changes for new parts introduction, supporting cost reduction and margin review for aircraft options, and reallocation of harness configurations to avoid scrapping in a multi site manufacturing organization.
Rollout followed a staged governance approach from proof of concept to pilot to production, with domain owners and subject matter experts curating the knowledge graph and validating computational rules and analytical models. Airbus reported explicit outcomes tied to AIRKOG, including multi million Euro annual cost savings in several areas, reductions in costs by 20 percent to 30 percent, and reductions in lead time for analysis by 30 percent to 75 percent. The program materially reduced time spent searching for information and enabled multivariate analysis that streamlined decision making across engineering, sourcing, and manufacturing workflows.
