ERP restart with SAP
Within nine months, Sycor worked with SFM Medical Devices to introduce an SAP ERP solution and replace the existing legacy system. The transition took place during ongoing business operations - without any production downtime.
An analysis of the processes and, if necessary, their adaptation to the best practice standard was to be carried out in parallel. The medical device manufacturer awarded the contract for the overall project to the Göttingen-based SAP partner and IT service provider Sycor. One of the challenges in the project turned out to be that SFM had set up a separate client for each of the two locations, in Wächtersbach in Hesse and in Prague in the Czech Republic.
"To enable SFM to benefit from the advantages of an integrated, company-wide standardized ERP solution, we merged the two clients in SAP Business All-in-One. To do this, we had to ensure a harmonized data migration"
emphasizes Sycor project manager Oliver Mittermeier.
