SAP Outsourcing History
• Take over by German „Aurelius Group“ as carve out, deadline: January 1st 2009
• Need to setup all F&A, IT, etc. operations in very short time (deadline: 01.01.2009)
=> Decision for outsourcing of IT easy
• Today several tasks outsourced:
• PC /local IT to local provider
• Internal ticket tool (Remedy)
• SAP (hosting + license maintenance + AMS)
• SAP Implementation project started in September 2008 with 2 options:
• Migrate existing SAP solution (carve out)
• Setup new system from scratch (was chosen)
