Future Proofing the University for the Digital Age with SAP S/4HANA
Newcastle University went live with SAP over 20 years ago starting initially with Finance, HR and Payroll modules. Next, they opted to become a pilot customer for Student Lifecycle Management, which is the industry solution for Higher Education. Since then, the University has undertaken many business transformation projects as they continue on their journey to becoming an intelligent enterprise. Consequently, the University’s SAP footprint has grown significantly.
Before implementing SAP S/4HANA, Newcastle undertook a number of maintenance projects to prepare for their S/4HANA journey. The University went live with S/4HANA in January 2020. The original intention was to roll straight into phase 2 (business transformation phase) and prioritise the first functional area to be transformed. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University had to pause and pivot to new challenges. Follow on projects to upgrade S/4HANA to the latest release and collapsing Gateway into S/4HANA have successfully passed proof of concept assessment and are currently in the planning stages for rollout through the landscape.
