| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2023 | 2025 |
In 2023, Alpiq initiated a migration from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to SAP S/4 HANA as part of a core ERP renewal program, with the implementation scoped under the ERP Financial category. The program is positioned to consolidate finance and logistics capabilities and to align SAP S/4 HANA with existing enterprise modules and operational teams across procurement, sales and asset operations for Hydro, Gas and Wind power plants.
The implementation workstream explicitly targets functional modules already in use at Alpiq, including FI, CO, TR, MM, SD and PM, while continuing support for HCM. Configuration activities center on developing solutions and concepts in collaboration with logistics departments, contributing to the business blueprint for the S/4 HANA migration project, and implementing new functionality through customizing, specification writing for development, testing of developed solutions and documentation.
Integrations are being managed through coordination of interfaces to logistics implementation systems, with in-house teams responsible for operational support, error analysis and correction. The operational scope for SAP S/4 HANA includes Procurement, Sales and plant-level operations for Hydro, Gas and Wind, with the implementation structured to support both local Swiss sites and international change requests where needed.
Governance and rollout are organized around in-house SAP consulting capability, notably an SAP SD consultant embedded in the migration team to provide support and consulting during ongoing operations, training and coaching of key users, and partial project management for change requests. The role specification emphasizes business blueprint contribution, stakeholder collaboration, and sustained application support rather than reliance on an external integrator.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP HCM (HR) | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015 Alpiq implemented SAP HCM (HR) as its Core HR platform to centralize personnel administration and support an international roll-out and harmonization of HR processes. The SAP HCM (HR) deployment was positioned to standardize HR workflows across countries and to provide a single source for employee records, organizational structures, and payroll-related operational support.
The implementation focused on Core HR capabilities including personnel administration, payroll operations support, organizational management, and the introduction of structured performance and feedback management processes. SAP HCM (HR) was also used to support restructuring projects with operational configuration and master data changes to reflect reorganizations in the system.
Integrations and interface work were explicit components of the program, with Alpiq developing and supporting system links between SAP HCM (HR) and other HR systems such as PeopleDoc, SF, and OrgManager. The program included technical and organizational interface management to other functional areas, ensuring data flows for HR administration and payroll teams were maintained across the application landscape.
Governance and process transformation were embedded into the project approach, with implementation of IKS as a process engineer in collaboration with process owners to tighten controls and process documentation. Project management methods varied by workstream, with Waterfall, Kanban and Scrum used for delivery, and ongoing development and support responsibilities retained within HR process and system teams.
Operational coverage included HR Administration and Payroll teams and extended to international HR process owners responsible for digitalization and harmonization initiatives. Activities explicitly cited for the SAP HCM (HR) program included development, support and further development of HR systems, conception and implementation of feedback management, and leadership of Performance 2024 and broader HR transformation efforts.
