Alliander | Utilities | 5991 | $2.3B | Netherlands | SAP | SAP Business Planning and Consolidation | EPM | 2014 | In 2014, Alliander implemented SAP Business Planning and Consolidation as its centralized planning platform to unify operational, tactical and strategic planning across the company. The initial deployment focused on the department responsible for planning and execution and was delivered in six months by SAP partner Plainwater, establishing a program intended to onboard additional departments over time. SAP Business Planning and Consolidation was configured to support integrated planning and consolidation workflows typical of the EPM category, including sequenced planning where the output of one plan becomes the input for subsequent plans. The implementation centralized resource planning for people, materials and third party services, and scoped the platform to enable planning across operational activities such as the planned installation of smart meters for three million customers. Integrations were explicitly implemented with SAP Business Warehouse to make existing SAP data available inside SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, and the solution was positioned to leverage predictive analytics capabilities on SAP HANA as planning data sources were consolidated. Finance and the Smart Metering function moved onto SAP Business Planning and Consolidation during the initial rollout, with a staged plan to extend usage to other planning teams. Governance shifted from fragmented Excel based spreadsheets to a single planning tool, creating a program level governance construct that received executive attention and drove the so called BPC train approach to phased adoption. Reported outcomes included consolidation of previously disparate working methods into one workflow and improved ability to deploy resources effectively, while predictive analytics integration on SAP HANA remained a planned enhancement. |
