Ayesa delivers one of Latin America’s biggest SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration projects!

The company is partnering with Grupo de Energía de Bogotá (GEB) to transform its operations.

The energy group has 1.8 million customers in Colombia, Peru and Guatemala.

Ayesa, a global provider of technology and engineering services, has successfully completed one of Latin America’s biggest SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration projects for Grupo de Energía de Bogotá (GEB), in addition to implementing SAP IS-U, an ERP solution designed specifically for utility companies.

The energy group, which was founded 125 years ago, generates, transports and distributes electricity and natural gas in Colombia, Peru and Guatemala. As part of its digital transformation process, the group chose Ayesa to undertake one of its most important tasks, the migration of SAP ERP and SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) to the cloud, solutions the group uses to centrally manage its operations. Ayesa has also standardised the processes in place at ten companies belonging to GEB.

Thanks to this technology GEB has been able to simplify and optimise processes relating to accounting (including year-end closing) and purchasing, as well as streamline its supply chain. It has also optimised its operations generally and increased the quality of its services while reducing costs.

The project has been led by a team of 200 SAP experts from Ayesa, who have also helped staff at GEB adapt to the new solutions through a successful change management strategy.

The migration is one of the biggest of its kind to have been carried out in Latin America both in terms of the volume of users who have benefited from it as well as the number of SAP IS-U modules implemented.

The last phase of the project has involved implementing and deploying SAP IS-U on S/4HANA (version 1909) at the companies Calidda and Contugas, which belong to GEB and are based in Peru.

Among other things, SAP IS-U allows GEB and its subsidiaries to oversee the entire life cycle of its services, as well as manage meter readings from residential and business customers, process customer credit, and plan and supervise the work of contractors.

 

The benefits of SAP Cloud for GEB

The migration of GEB’s systems to the cloud has represented a milestone for the energy and gas group, allowing it to secure its data and ensure compliance with the strict data regulations governing public service companies. Furthermore, it has increased the speed with which it is able to share large volumes of data.

The migration of SAP ERP and SAP IS-U to the cloud has represented a steep learning curve for staff at the group. However, thanks to the services provided by Ayesa, they have been able to successfully overcome this.
