by Brianna Crandall — May 25, 2012—India-based Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading provider of information technology (IT) services, consulting, and business solutions in Asia and internationally, recently announced that the firm has helped Spotless Group, an international services company specializing in outsourced facilities management, to go live with the first phase of its transformation to enterprise application software from Germany-based SAP (which stands for “Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing”), global provider of enterprise application software.
Spotless selected SAP business management software to assist with its business and IT platform transformation program. To date, the project’s scope of work has covered SAP finance, procurement, service asset management, sales and distribution, portal, process integration, reporting, and human resources. TCS is providing Spotless with SAP-focused implementation expertise, consulting and ongoing support for the SAP solution.
Spotless’ cleaning services and corporate divisions are the first operations benefiting from the IT platform transformation, which was designed to improve business agility as well as deliver net financial benefits in the medium term and beyond.
Josef Farnik, MD and CEO, Spotless, said that the SAP solution is expected to streamline Spotless’ business operations as well as enhance information sharing and business administration efficiencies. According to Farnik, “The Spotless business and IT transformation project has been designed to standardize core business processes across the organization enabled by a common technology platform, thereby unlocking substantial recurring financial benefits. Other benefits include centralizing the management of client and supplier data. To date, the Spotless implementation team has conducted over 10,000 tests and migrated 125,000 data fields into SAP.”
The next implementation will go live in 2013. This will involve moving other core Spotless businesses—managed services, laundry services and food services—across to the SAP platform.
