Veolia Environmental Services wins SAP Australia and New Zealand Excellence Award
Announcement posted by HCL Technologies 28 Aug 2008
Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) has been awarded the SAP ANZ Excellence Award for best eSOA implementation in Australia and New Zealand.
Introduced in 2001, the SAP Excellence Awards recognize the best SAP implementations with a focus on the successful alignment of IT and business strategy and the role played by SAP partners.
Judged by an independent panel, each nomination must pass a three-phase evaluation process to be recognised as a finalist. Judging criteria is based on the customers’ effective use of resources, their relationship with the implementation partner and SAP, their ability to understand and adapt to changing market conditions and the achievement of set business objectives.
Veolia Environmental Services (Veolia) is Australia’s leading environmental services company. In 2007 it generated approximately $700 million in revenue from waste management and industrial cleaning services. Veolia operates over 1100 trucks, collecting more than 3 million tonnes of waste, of which, 1.1 million tonnes is recovered and recycled.
“After many years of continued expansion we needed a solution that could coordinate separate business processes across boundaries with the ability to increase scale in the future,” said Bruce Duncan, Veolia Project Manager, Veolia Environmental Services. “The SAP architecture that HCL implemented was the first of its kind in a waste management company in Australia and New Zealand. HCL has a track record in SAP implementations and the integration with additional processing systems which is what we needed in this case.”
HCL Technologies designed a system based on SAP Netweaver to simplify and automate the waste and recycling service. The system was able to integrate with:
• Mapping software to identify the position of the services to be provided
• A paperless truck system which allows jobs to be communicated straight to drivers in the field
• Banking system for payment processing
“We’re proud that Veolia has received the SAP ANZ Excellence Award for eSOA. HCL offers the complete framework in eSOA including eSOA roadmap, Business Process Management, Enterprise Applications, eSOA Competency Centre, Accelerators, etc. that provide our customers a value advantage through reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with low IT intensity, an exciting range of tailor made services and reduced technological complexity through consolidation and integration”,
said Brian Pereira, Vice President and Head of Australia and New Zealand, HCL Technologies. “HCL has an end to end competency set and is backed up by strong customer engagements, such as this engagement with Veolia Environmental Services.”
A Forrester Wave study on SAP Implementation Providers in Australia and New Zealand, released in April 2008, named HCL Technologies as one of five leading SAP Implementation Providers in the region. The report also ranked HCL first for overall value of their current SAP offering, second for vertical expertise, second for low-cost remote global delivery and first for their plans of growth for horizontal and vertical SAP capabilities.
