  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
We needed a modern planning platform vs. the ‘system’ that relied on Excel at the center. IBP provides a ‘smaller footprint’ with its cloud foundation and allows usage away from the office much more readily. The ability to build models centric to each function and/or business process creates the integrated plans we sorely needed. Also creates common dialog and understanding across the enterprise around operating decisions, etc.

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
In the past, we had experience with other tools and systems, but none were not integrated with each other. When we adopted SAP IBP we were searching for a platform that in a unique environment gives us the possibility to have everything we need to manage our business, from the creation of the product/services to its monitoring. And, at that time, we wanted to switch without losing all the data of the previous projects. And the solution was SAP IBP adoption.

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
We searched for easy adoption of the technology for all our large organizations because we were operating another on-premise kind of software that presented similar functions and features but, at some point, was difficult to scale and a nightmare for the IT and DevOps teams. For that, we want to use a cloud platform that eliminate maintenance and allows our organization to scale as our business requirements are increasing. We found that SAP Integrated Business Planning is a good choice for all the challenges that our organization faces.

We are using SAP products like SAP ERP, SAP SCM, SAP TM etc.. when we moved from SAP ERP to S4 HANA then ePPDS functionlaity received added to it. Now we are planning to roll off SCM solution with IBP, hence this product is chosen. It makes sense to use product lineup from same providers then messing with lot of legacy integrations.
