The Client
Our long-standing client is a multinational automobile manufacturer with a strong global presence in the automotive industry. Known for producing a wide range of vehicles, they’ve earned a reputation for reliability and engineering excellence. The brand is also recognised for its pioneering efforts in electric vehicles, with a flagship electric model among the best-selling EVs worldwide.
The Challenge:
We discussed the benefits of introducing a strategic series of steps to enhance our client’s finance and purchasing landscape.
A leading factor in this was ensuring a smooth migration to the European system, as well as ECC and PI integration.
In assessing that a Financial Breakthrough (FBT) Implementation with new SAP components would be the most efficient way to meet their goals, we would need to set up multiple PI environments or E2E, UAT and Integration Testing. Paired with a complex working landscape and a aggressive timeline to adhere to, we knew the work we’d been tasked with producing had to be of our usual excellent standard and delivered without delay.

The Response:
We assisted in identifying the essential components and modules needed to create a solid Solutions Footprint.
The project team assigned to this challenge had deep existing knowledge of our client’s IT and Security requirements, meaning we could minimise their internal IS/IT workload for this task. As a result, we aimed to have the assigned work done several months ahead of the agreed timeline to finalise any changes and allow for thorough QA and Testing.
Our on-hand experts were able to:
- Setup multiple PI environments for E2E, UAT and Integration Tests.
- Project Managers/SMEs were able to work closely with IS/IT/Security teams to validate architectural choices proposed, Hosting & Hardware requirements, Firewall rules, security compliance – as well as producing status reports for regular updates.
- Propose a unique migration methodology designed specifically for this project to reduce business disruption and production downtime.
- Successfully provide Design Client & Transport Strategies, as well as providing clear and concise System & Client copies.
The collaboration we achieved, along with the excellence of the final application, led to success for the client and offered valuable insights into our committed approach to functioning as a seamless extension of your business.

Project Outcome
We were tasked to implement a SAP system that would support multiple production locations globally. With factories in South Africa, Russia, and Europe, we needed to consolidate timelines into one landscape while ensuring offshore support connectivity and careful control of transport movements. Our team dedicated themselves well ahead of schedule for thorough QA and testing, all while ensuring a smooth, efficient process.
Starting with an in-depth health-check, we identified areas to optimize their existing architecture.
The project delivered:
- Consolidation across all global working locations
- Zero variance from the original Solutions Footprint
- No hard coding, enabling future flexibility
- Enhanced system performance (Dialog, Database, and Front End response times)
- Improved backup solution and heightened security compliance
The pride taken in this project from both the Infotel UK team and our client lead to a strong, reliable resolution: Improved performance as a result of the FBT Implementation, with all components brought under the SAP recommended threshold level.
Instead of receiving an overwhelming amount of data to sort through and pass along, we can focus on specific domains, demographics, and budgets, all crucial to our business needs.
Introducing an FBT model is proving to be a real game-changer for us.
