Every year, SAP Austria awards the three most successful implementations of SAP technologies that are used in well-known Austrian companies. The event, which was previously held as part of the SAP Forum, took place for the first time this year as an independent event at Vienna's Palais Coburg.
The twelve most successful SAP applications were awarded in the four categories "Business Transformation", "Fast Delivery", "Innovation" and "Innovation Cloud". SAP Austria presented one Quality Award per category in gold, silver and bronze. Over 100 projects were submitted.
Bronze QualityAward for UNIQA
We congratulate our long-standing customer, the UNIQA Insurance Group, on winning the Bronze Quality Award in the category "Business Transformation" for the project "Fast Close - S/4HANA".Award in the category "Business Transformation" for the project "Fast Close - S/4HANA.
The project was implemented in partial steps with INFORMATICS last year. The goal was to modernise and simplify the intercompany processes throughout the entire insurance group. In the course of the project, preparations were also made for the changed regulatory requirements such as shortened reporting deadlines and new accounting standards such as IFRS 17. The S/4HANA introduction in the areas of materials management (SAP MM) and sales (SAP SD) was implemented under the technical leadership of Otto Kitzmüller, CEO INFORMATICS.
Since January 2019, the Group-wide finance and controlling platform based on SAP S/4HANA has been rolled out across the board.
Phase 1 of the standardisation started on 1 January 2019 in Austria, Poland, Serbia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. From September 2018, the remaining ten countries (excluding Russia) were converted. The second phase of the group-wide rollout of the software has been completed since 1 January 2020.
UNIQA is thus one of the first companies in the financial industry to use SAP S/4HANA across the board as a modern basis for uniform finance and controlling processes.
The UNIQA Group is also very pleased about the award and Gerald Lippert, Head of Finance and Risk Transformation in Group Finance, praised the cooperation with the words: "This award is a great recognition for the international project team from the specialist departments and IT".
"We warmly congratulate all Quality Award winners on their successful implementations in the various business areas. The award-winning projects are prime examples of how companies can work intelligently and in a customer-oriented manner, thus proving how important digitisation and data networked via the cloud are for the success of a company."
Christoph Kränkl, CEO SAP Österreich GmbH, found the following appreciative words for the award-winning companies
