London, 7th November 2019. itelligence today announced that Jazz Pharmaceuticals has been selected as a Silver Winner of the SAP UKI Quality Awards in the Business Transformation category.
The annual awards acknowledge customers whose implementations of SAP solutions have yielded strong, tangible business value and employed recognised quality principles. The award was presented to Jazz Pharmaceuticals at a special SAP UKI Awards Dinner on Wednesday 6th November at the RSA (Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) in London.
“We are delighted to have won an SAP Quality Award. This is testament to the hard work and determination of the team to deliver our business transformation project. We implemented SAP S/4HANA within our global business in only 11 months. This was a remarkable achievement and with the project being recognised by SAP for its high quality standards, this award will inspire our team as we rollout our programme of continuous business improvement,” commented John Mahon, Executive Director, IT Technical Operations & Finance, Jazz Pharmaceuticals. He continued “There was a strong focus on team wellbeing that was embedded in the spirit of the project. This novel approach considered team members’ wellbeing as important as any other deliverable, and I believe this was a major factor in the success of the project.”
SAP S/4HANA was implemented to replace the organisation’s financial system and deliver a scalable platform to drive operational excellence and ensure global compliance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals now has global standardised processes in key financial areas and visibility across operations and geographies.
Alan Shemwell, Quality Manager UK & Ireland commented, “Congratulations on being a well-deserved winner in the SAP Quality Awards. This important accolade demonstrates how the application of the quality principles has helped to manage the SAP S/4HANA project, ensure a smooth and successful implementation and deliver sought after business value.”
Justin Brading, Managing Director at itelligence UK & I, commented “Well done to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. They have a talented team who worked collaboratively with itelligence to deliver the SAP S/4HANA solution in a very short timeframe. Our implementation approach provided the foundations to effectively plan, execute and manage the project and I am delighted that SAP has recognised Jazz for their commitment to quality. This is a great example of how we transform trust into value by collaboratively building the foundations for the intelligent enterprise to drive process automation and innovation, unlock new areas of growth, and deliver exceptional experiences.”
