Xerox Selects RISE with SAP to Transform Enterprise Architecture
SAP SE announced Xerox Holdings Corp. has chosen multiple SAP
solutions to transform its enterprise architecture as part of its multi-year Reinvention.
Xerox’s Reinvention involves aligning its resources to improve and
stabilize its core print businesses, increase productivity and efficiency, and
focus on its emerging digital services and IT services capabilities to improve
business outcomes for its clients.
Moving to the Cloud to Achieve a Clean
Core
In choosing
the RISE with SAP solution to move to the cloud, Xerox is embarking on the
clean core approach to streamline operations across markets and business
processes. By selecting SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Xerox expects to reduce IT costs,
standardize global processes in connection with the creation of a global
business services organization and significantly simplify its application
landscape, enabling the delivery of new business models in line with the
changing demands of the industry.
“By
shifting to the cloud with SAP solutions, Xerox is streamlining operations,
becoming easier to do business with and within, and positioning itself to be a
services-led, software-enabled organization,” said Louie Pastor, executive vice
president, chief transformation and administrative officer at Xerox. “SAP is a
strategic partner helping us meet the evolving needs of our clients and
partners as we increase our speed, agility and cost-effectiveness while providing
the entire enterprise with modern tools and improved support. As we continue
our Reinvention, this partnership underscores Xerox’s dedication to enabling
client and partner success across the hybrid workplace.”
Single
Platform of Truth
Some of the other cloud solutions chosen by Xerox include SAP
Business AI, the SAP Customer Experience portfolio, SAP Business Technology
Platform (SAP BTP) and supply management solutions from SAP. Bringing several
innovative cloud solutions together on SAP BTP provides Xerox with an
integrated platform across functions such as finance, supply chain and sales.
This will allow the company to have real-time insights with live drill-downs to
operational transactions, creating greater agility and flexibility to add new
offerings, while increasing automation, simplification and cost reduction
throughout its operations. SAP Business AI will initially be deployed for
business integrity screening, and additional use cases will be explored in the
coming months to deliver further benefits for the business.
Xerox
will also tap into digital supply chain solutions from SAP to optimize its
supply chain and mitigate risks by improving inventory visibility across the
nearly 145 countries in which it operates, extending analytics across the
business for better data-driven decision-making.
“We
are proud that Xerox has decided to leverage the power of SAP’s solutions to
drive its reinvention.” said Dominik Asam, chief financial officer and a member
of the Executive Board of SAP SE. “Through its selection of RISE with SAP,
Xerox will implement new business models to enhance client experiences and
begin integrating SAP Business AI to drive its business forward. This will
enable the company to build on its strong history and introduce a new era of
workplace innovation for its clients.”
