The EDF Challenge
EDF Renewables Brazil is a company of the French group EDF with global operations and projects aimed at generating energy from renewable sources, especially wind and solar.
The company has been operating in Brazil since 2015 and has an installed base of 1.1 gigawatts already in operation and more than 750 megawatts still under construction.
The rapid growth of EDF Renewables in Brazil and the increasing complexity of its processes prompted the company to look for an ERP system, as well as a partner that could implement it end-to-end.
Why SAP?
Among the ERP systems evaluated by EDF Renewables Brazil, SAP was chosen for providing the best user experience, ensuring maximum fluidity and integration between the company's different processes, in a simple and configurable way.
Furthermore, full compliance
of the SAP system with the Brazilian legislation was another fundamental factor when deciding , allowing the company to scale its future operations in a 100% safe way.
Why Choose
Origen Tech?
Origen Tech's extensive advisory and technical expertise was instrumental in ensuring that the entire SAP SOLaaS S/4HANA technology preparation and deployment process was completed in just 6 months.
More than a simple ERP implementer, EDF Renewables Brazil saw a true business partner in Origen Tech, fully focused on enabling the company’s transformation in a simple, agile, and secure way.
The successful partnership was crucial to engage the different teams at EDF Renewables Brazil towards a common goal, in such a way that the SAP technology value proposition was quickly incorporated throughout the company.
How was the implementation of SOLaaS S/4HANA?
The project began with the BTO (Business Transformation Office) phase, a strategic step, fundamental to mapping the company's Value Chain and linking it, in a structured way, to the business areas and processes. Thus, it was possible to prioritize actions with a greater positive impact, in addition to the steps subsequent to the initial implementation, considering improvements and possible gaps.
With BTO, EDF Renewables Brazil was able to extract the maximum potential of SAP technology, leveraging the efficiency of its flows and operations.
BTO is a very important step to speed up the subsequent implementation of the system, precisely because it is capable of absorbing complexities that are unnecessary for the company's day-to-day.
Furthermore, by anticipating and mapping business scenarios in great detail, BTO reduces the need for customizations even in the system's post-Go Live phase.
“It took two months of BTO and four months of implementation. A short term for the relevance of a large and quite complex project”
