McCann advertising agency in Australia (McCann Australia) tapped SAP Gold Partner Acclimation in the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution SAP Business ByDesign.
SAP consulting and solutions provider Acclimation has been the chosen technology partner of the award-winning creative advertising agency McCann Australia for its ERP system upgrade across Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney operations.
As an experienced SAP consulting company working exclusively with SAP and related technology, Acclimation led the migration of McCann Australia’s SAP ECC System to SAP Business ByDesign, a single cloud ERP solution for fast-growing, mid-market businesses to scale and compete without the complexity and cost. The implementation, which took 12 weeks to complete, is anticipated to enable McCann to cut costs from relying on its technical IT support for routine system use.
Bringing Intelligence and Automation
SAP Business ByDesign was recently recognised in the major players’ category of the 2020 IDC MarketScape for the worldwide SaaS and cloud-enabled midmarket ERP applications market. IDC reported that the SAP Business ByDesign is easy to navigate having over 500 standardised reports and dozens of prebuilt KPIs and real-time analytics.
Sharing his insights on the SAP Business ByDesign implementation, Zain Hoosen, Chief Operations Officer of McCann, said:
“Deploying the SAP Business ByDesign solution helped McCann Australia meet the business objectives it set out to achieve, transforming business operations into a more proactive project management environment.”
Much like the recent success of DuluxGroup Papua New Guinea’s SAP Business ByDesign spearheaded by the Melbourne-based Acclimation, McCann Australia also commended the SAP consulting firm’s smooth project management.
“The team was impressed by Acclimation’s technical expertise in the product and understanding of the creative industry, as well as the team’s ability to engage with the McCann Australia team proactively and in a highly collaborative manner,” said Hoosen.
Acclimation Managing Director Rod Taubman highlighted that McCann’s successful SAP Business ByDesign deployment is an example of how SMEs can leverage the SAP ERP solution in achieving a fast ROI.
McCann Australia and Acclimation’s technology partnership continues as the advertising company agreed to avail of Acclimation’s support services, which includes optimising SAP and deploying its integrated support model for post go-live support.
