Large scale SAP implementation to drive business change enabled by technology
At the time TfL’s ERP-IP programme was the largest SAP deployment ever undertaken in the UK. Whilst the System Architecture’s ERP implementation methodology provided an effective means for ensuring that the systems integration aspects of the technology deployment were captured, they did not always recognize or consider all of the business transition activities/requirements that could have affected the delivery scope and or timeline. Dada Enterprises managed business integration activities covering training, data migration, communication and post implementation support.
Dada Enterprises was brought in to provide clear management insight on the status of the business integration and change management activities.
Overview
After the return of the Metronet franchise to TfL their ERP-IP programme aimed to align all HR, Finance & Procurement systems providing one system for all. This programme linked the Ellipse Asset Management systems to TfL’s SAP processing. Following ERP-IP TfL would have up to 51,174 end users across a suite of SAP products (ECC/CRM/SRM and BI).
