Automotive Supplier Relys on SAP

ZF Friedrichshafen, one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, has chosen a wide range of SAP software—including SAP S/4, SAP BW/4 HANA, and SuccessFactors solutions—to optimize the company’s global IT landscape. The implementation and integration of these solutions provide ZF with a unified data foundation for connecting with suppliers, customers, and business networks, and lay the groundwork for new digital business models. ZF chose SAP to implement its ambitious growth strategy and to scale processes across the entire company using state-of-the-art technology. With the implementation of SAP’s solutions, ZF will continue to migrate its existing IT system landscape to the cloud. Following the acquisition of automotive supplier TRW, the implementation of these applications will enable ZF to achieve synergies across all key departments, rapidly roll out global business processes, and drive digital transformation forward.
