DXC Technology Intelligent ERP Solution Helps TasNetworks Win the ‘Best Run SAP Intelligent ERP Enterprise’ Award
News Release -- December 02, 2019
SYDNEY, Australia, 2 December 2019 – DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), the world’s leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, today announced that an intelligent, next-generation ERP solution implemented by DXC Oxygen for TasNetworks has won the Best Run SAP Intelligent ERP Enterprise award.
In accepting the award at the SAP ANZ 2019 Best Run Awards, TasNetworks CEO Lance Balcombe cited the success of an ambitious business transformation initiative that sought to simplify business processes, increase capabilities and reduce operating costs.
“The project enabled the decommissioning of 60 legacy applications and has positioned TasNetworks for greater innovation and growth in the future. Our business case identified about $68 million in quantifiable benefits in moving to the SAP S/4HANA platform – we are currently on track to deliver or exceed that,” Balcombe said.
“This was a far-reaching and multi-faceted implementation that has given TasNetworks a platform for system agility to meet evolving business strategies. The two-and-a-half-year program was delivered on time, and on budget with minimal customisations. Today, the solution is providing us with higher resource utilisation, more effective planning, fewer program delays, and less outage time,” added Balcombe.
TasNetworks implemented SAP S/4HANA as its “digital core”, powering processes across a range of vital business functions including asset planning and operation, works management and service delivery, financial performance management, and procurement and supply chain management. The solution has helped reduce complexity by providing a powerful, integrated system with employee self-service features to help streamline day-to-day business functions.
DXC Oxygen Director and General Manager Stuart Dickinson said: “The solution we have implemented at TasNetworks is a great example of the leading-edge innovation DXC Oxygen has introduced in recent years. Our accelerated design, implementation and deployment methodologies have helped utilities optimise service delivery, improve asset management and ncreased efficiencies across their day-to-day business operations.”
The SAP ANZ 2019 Best Run Awards celebrate the achievements of the top companies and people in Australia and New Zealand using SAP products to transform their businesses, drive innovation and win in the experience economy.
SAP has been an enabler and a catalyst for change. Having accurate, accessible asset data has been pivotal in managing reliability and risk and safety of not only TasNetworks employees but also the community, while also helping TasNetworks to achieve lower operating and maintenance costs, which will ultimately mean lower electricity prices for the Tasmanian community.
DXC Oxygen is a certified SAP services partner and a platinum SAP channel partner and has achieved Partner Centre of Expertise certification from SAP. Since 2004, DXC Oxygen has been a consistent winner of SAP “Best Implementation” awards, including the SAP Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Partner Award 2018 for Strategic Industry: Energy & Natural Resources.
