| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | Capgemini | 2024 | 2025 |
In 2024, the Swedish Armed Forces converted their SAP ERP ECC 6.0 environment to SAP S/4 HANA, deploying SAP S/4 HANA as their ERP Financial platform. The Telecommunications and Information Systems Unit, FMTIS, led the project execution with Capgemini acting as the system integrator, and the program focused on updating the core SAP technology stack for the organisationwide Prio system.
The implementation emphasized user interface and nomenclature updates alongside backend modernization. End users will see a new login flow, updated screen colors and a refreshed interface, and terminology will change with the shopping cart concept replaced by the term request. For purchasing teams the SAP S/4 HANA deployment introduces new ways of working and more intuitive procurement workflows, while much of this first stage work is described as under the hood technical tightening to enable future functional enhancements.
The SAP S/4 HANA deployment preserves and activates the Armed Forces specific SAP defence solution to improve interoperability, and it explicitly enables exchanges with partner defence organisations including the United States, Germany, France and Nordic countries that also operate SAP. Operational coverage spans the Swedish Armed Forces information management and purchasing functions, with user guidance and roll out instructions published on the Emilia intranet.
Governance of the conversion remains with FMTIS which manages the Swedish Armed Forces IT systems for information management, and the programme prioritized adherence to SAP standard functionality to avoid bespoke adaptations. The week 44 cutover was executed to present a modernised Prio, with most users experiencing primarily interface and term changes while procurement users receive deeper procedural adjustments.

In 2018, Swedish Armed Forces implemented IFS Maintenix to support Aviation MRO operations. The IFS Maintenix implementation serves as the technical backbone for the FM support system Fenix and is used to monitor use, remedial and preventive maintenance of aircraft including the JAS 39 Gripen and Helicopter 16 Black Hawk.
The deployment was configured to emphasize maintenance planning, work package and task management, technical records and preventive maintenance scheduling, consistent with Aviation MRO best practices. Fenix is described as a modern operation and maintenance system with a user friendly graphical interface, and IFS Maintenix is used to deliver maintenance workflow automation and aircraft status monitoring across operational teams.
Operational coverage includes the Swedish Armed Forces maintenance, training and planning functions, with a physical hub at FMTS in Halmstad and training delivered to both national personnel and export customers. Course administration and digital collaboration through the Fenix competence network were integrated into daily operations, enabling classroom and distance learning support for personnel who will operate IFS Maintenix.
Governance around the implementation includes formalized course planning, development of educational materials, and leadership of the Fenix competence network to coordinate tasks and resources and to maintain up to date procedures. The role profile for trainers emphasizes teaching capability, project experience, aircraft technical background and operational knowledge to sustain the IFS Maintenix driven maintenance processes within the Swedish Armed Forces.
