FPT to migrate ERP system for Czech innogy Group to SAP S/4HANA

SAP experts from FPT will be responsible for providing comprehensive services from consulting to the implementation of the in-memory system SAP S/4HANA

ESSEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FPT Europe, a subsidiary of the global technology services provider FPT Corporation, has announced the collaboration with innogy Czech, a leading energy company providing natural gas, electricity and heating solutions, as well as clean mobility solutions, to migrate the innogy Czech’s entire SAP R/3-based ERP infrastructure to the SaaS cloud. As the general contractor of the project, FPT will support the customer to migrate the current system to SAP S/4HANA as part of the greenfield approach. The goal is thus a complete redesign of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), which is business-critical for innogy Czech, including streamlining and simplifying all processes automated in the system. FPT is responsible for the entire scope of the project, from consulting to planning and implementation.

"We entrusted FPT with the upgrade of our SAP system to S/4 HANA because of the company’s expertise, technical capabilities and years of experience in the industry," says Miloš Dušek, Senior Manager of Corporate Applications at innogy Ceska republika. "The project is of great strategic importance for innogy. FPT has proven to be a reliable strategic partner for us and has put together a qualified team to ensure that the first part of the project will be delivered successfully by the end of 2021."

Lighthouse project in the growing market of SAP S/4HANA

The aim of the project is to replace the current SAP ERP system used by innogy Czech in version R/3 ERP Central Component 6.0 EhP 8, which has so far been based on HANA DB2, with S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition. "SAP made an announcement that the company will end the support for its on-premises solutions by 2027. Many companies therefore would want to migrate their system to S/4 HANA in a timely manner," explains Andy Do, Deputy Director/Head of Delivery at FPT Europe. "FPT has strong expertise and many years of experience in cloud migration as well as SAP migration projects, but the project with innogy Czech can be considered as one of the largest end-to-end S/4HANA migration projects for us. It offers FPT a great opportunity to position ourselves as a trusted partner in the field of SAP S/4HANA migration."

The scope of work mentioned above will be applied for 5 companies within innogy Czech Republic group, including innogy Ceska republika a.s., innogy Zakaznicke sluzby, s.r.o., innogy Energie, s.r.o., innogy Energo, s.r.o. and innogy Energetika Plhov-Nachod, s.r.o.
