Stadtwerke Heilbronn is a modern service provider and infrastructure operator for water supply, mobility and leisure. In order to successfully shape its own business transformation, the company is getting support from the same city: Stadtwerke Heilbronn is taking the path to SAP S/4HANA together with IBsolution.

 

Whether it’s providing clean drinking water for 80,000 households or an attractive local transport service – for Stadtwerke Heilbronn, the highest priority is to securely supply the needs of people in Heilbronn and the surrounding area. At the same time, the current economic, social and political conditions pose enormous challenges for utilities and providers of mobility services in particular. In order to be able to react adequately to the dynamics of the markets, a high degree of agility and flexibility is required. For this reason, Stadtwerke Heilbronn is taking a targeted and consistent approach to its business transformation. Their partner of choice is the SAP consulting company IBsolution, which is also headquartered in Heilbronn.

Analyzing the initial situation for the SAP S/4HANA implementation.

At the heart of the transformation is the introduction of SAP S/4HANA. As a first step on this path, Stadtwerke Heilbronn and IBsolution are currently analyzing the initial situation and determining the framework parameters relevant for the changeover. At the same time, both partners are sharpening the target picture of the transformation in order to best prepare the upcoming decisions – for example, the question of which migration approach is best suited for Stadtwerke Heilbronn to implement SAP S/4HANA.

Holistic approach with best practices

As an end-to-end partner for business transformation, IBsolution has extensive experience and relies on a proven project methodology with numerous best practices. The experts in strategy, process and technology consulting take a holistic approach that considers the strategic, tactical and operational levels equally.

First, focus interviews with the management of Stadtwerke Heilbronn provide important impetus for the future SAP S/4HANA roadmap and create the basis for deriving specific recommendations for the further course of action. The awareness workshops have a technological focus and serve to examine the current process and system landscape.

Transparency and security as the basis for project success

IBsolution’s integrated consulting approach creates transparency for comprehensible, future-proof decisions, realigns corporate management and minimizes project risk. In this way, Stadtwerke Heilbronn and IBsolution have jointly set the initial course for making the business transformation of Stadtwerke Heilbronn a success – and at the same time laid the foundation for a long-term, profitable partnership.
