Business planning treatment ensures recovery of visibility and control at Spire Healthcare
About the Project
Spire Healthcare has strong IT foundations supporting their business with SAP ERP, SAP Patient Administration and SAP BusinessObjects. One of the critical enhancements was the implementation of SAP BusinessObjects Planning & Consolidation (SAP BPC) to provide a centralised and consistent platform across the healthcare group for Planning, Reporting and Consolidation processes.
Taking only ten months, NTT DATA Business Solutions delivered the SAP BPC solution across the business which has now been adopted by over 80 users. The project required a complete re-design of the existing BPC implementation to provide a unified solution that would support the latest Spire planning and reporting processes, including the introduction of a driver based, rolling forecast methodology.
As part of the SAP BPC NetWeaver implementation, NTT DATA Business Solutions provided application consulting, project engagement management, technical advisory and best practice guidance. NTT DATA Business Solutions’ proven delivery approach provided best practice assurance and included an agile methodology to ensure any unique constraints of the project were satisfied with input from users across the business.
Effective knowledge transfer was assured throughout the implementation culminating in a ’train the trainer’ approach and a comprehensive training programme with NTT DATA Business Solutions ensuring the Spire Healthcare project team were self-sufficient post go-live.
