Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), the infrastructure division of the Aboitiz Group, integrates SAP solutions to enhance their business processes in procurement and asset operations.
delaware Philippines, an international frontrunner in providing advanced ICT solutions and services, is thrilled to announce the successful integration of SAP Ariba and SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) for AIC. This accomplishment signifies a substantial progression in its ongoing digital transformation endeavors and boosts the company’s overall efficiency, covering both procurement and asset management.
The introduction of SAP Ariba, a top-tier digital solution known for its powerful spend management capabilities, marks a crucial point in AIC’s path towards refining procurement processes. This innovative solution provides AIC with the necessary tools to transact more efficiently, capitalize on sustainable sourcing savings, and build resilient supply chains.
Furthermore, delaware Philippines successfully rolled out SAP S/4HANA EAM, which signifies a significant landmark in AIC’s digital transformation efforts. This deployment not only improves asset performance but also establishes AIC as a progressive infrastructure leader dedicated to prioritizing digitalization in their operations, which are considered asset-intensive.
The amalgamation of both solutions into the S/4HANA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system empowers various personas in AIC’s ecosystem—buyers, suppliers, asset technicians, and more. With SAP Ariba, buyers obtain unmatched control over the entire purchasing process, utilizing insights to drive cost savings and maintain ethical sourcing practices. Concurrently, SAP S/4HANA EAM is designed to address the challenges encountered by contemporary asset technicians and operators by promoting effective asset optimization strategies.
For delaware Philippines Partner and Delivery Head Rosette Carrao, the successful integration of these solutions into AIC’s processes stands as a testament to the company’s dedication to promoting improved business management enabled by technology, a move they wholeheartedly endorse.
"The SAP Ariba implementation includes Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, Sourcing, and Commerce Automation modules, all aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing vendor engagement. Similarly, with all maintenance orders (preventive, corrective, and emergency) being processed via EAM, integrated with previously delivered Finance, Materials Management, and Controlling modules, AIC obtains full control over every asset operation. This optimization of sourcing processes, centralization of information and risk management, and leveraging of automation are all crucial in achieving their goal for business transformation,” Carrao elaborated.
The successful implementation wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team behind delaware and AIC who collaborated and fostered teamwork. For delaware Philippines Senior Vice President for Customer Success Simone Pigason, they ensured that both teams would work together in a safe, engaged, and collaborative environment for this project and for the overall partnership.
“Since it’s crucial for us that both organizations learn and grow from each other while executing this project, delaware even conducted a Design Thinking workshop on Business Transformation Management about project management to strengthen the relationship between the two teams and make the implementation of SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA EAM and other upcoming projects, successful. This was also our gateway to build a lasting, impactful, and valued relationship with AIC,” Pigason stated.
AIC Head of IT & Digital and Vice President Raymund Ramos echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the unwavering commitment of delaware Philippines and its team to implementing this project.
“We extend our gratitude to all individuals involved in this milestone. Everyone’s unwavering support and diligence from the beginning of the project until we went Live are instrumental as we usher in a new era of efficiency and growth for AIC,” Ramos reiterated.
As AIC embraces this innovative solution, it reaffirms its commitment to operational excellence and strategic foresight in the dynamic landscape of infrastructure development.
