How SLB Leveraged SAP IBP to Drive Supply Chain Excellence

by tempuser_2770432575 0 Comments

For more than a century, SLB has been a technological pioneer in the energy sector.

With current operations spanning more than 100 countries, a workforce of 80,000, and $36B in revenue in 2024, SLB is a globally recognized leader with a focus on three pillars: traditional oil and gas activities; digital, where the company aims to deliver data-driven solutions at scale for the energy industry; and its new energy division, which is diversifying its portfolio for the needs of tomorrow.

However, when it came to its supply chain, like many global enterprises, SLB faced challenges stemming from siloed planning processes.

Richard Bancel, global director of S&OP at SLB, recalled that there was a heavy reliance on Excel spreadsheets and that “a lot of these planning cycles were actually not really cycles, not orchestrated, and kind of happening on an ad hoc basis.” This lack of integration hindered scenario planning capabilities and disconnected planning efforts from executive decision-making.

Agnes Gaultier, global S&OP digitalization manager at SLB, further touched on this fragmentation, noting that among its core division the company had “13 business lines that operate almost like separate companies with their own processes, dataset, everything.”

Aside from an overreliance on Excel sheets and uncoordinated planning cycles, this fragmentation also led to inefficient resource allocation, excessive inventory, and inaccurate forecasting, with accuracy rates around 50 percent — ultimately impacting the company’s bottom line.

To address these challenges, SLB implemented SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP).

Reaping the rewards: tangible business value

The impact of SLB’s SAP-powered planning transformation has been noteworthy, to say the least. As Bancel put it, “The big enablers to make a vision come true are the focus on end-to-end processes, change management, and, of course, the digitalization. In our case it was with SAP IBP.”

Some key achievements for SLB include:

Efficiency gains: Planning activities that previously took up to three weeks now take less than a week, and some that took up to two weeks now take less than a day.
Inventory reduction: “SLB has been able to improve customer service, reduce lead-time, and drive over $1 billion in inventory savings over the last four years with SAP Integrated Business Planning,” Bancel noted. SLB is also reaching a historically low level of inventory days, reducing days inventory outstanding by 37 percent over three years.
Demand forecast accuracy: Some business lines that started with less than 50 percent demand forecast accuracy and that have been on this journey six to nine months have improved that number to around 90 percent.
Time savings: Teams now spend less time on data gathering and more time on simulations and scenario planning.

Beyond these quantifiable results, the transformation has fostered a culture of data-driven decision-making and collaboration, empowering SLB to navigate the complexities of the energy industry with greater agility and confidence.

Looking ahead

While impressive, SLB expects even more benefits.“We’re very proud of these results, but there’s now way more to come,” Bancel said. Wth SLB having all its data in one place, the company is starting to see even more opportunities to streamline and accelerate outcomes. “The fact that all the data is now available for AI, for forecasting, scenario planning — this is just opening a world of opportunities for us.”

SAP and TEAG: Digitalization and Decentralization for the Energy Transition

by tempuser_2770432575 0 Comments

For energy providers, IT is now more important than ever before. Thüringer Energie AG (TEAG), from Erfurt in Central Germany, shows how energy providers can get in shape for the future with a cloud and platform strategy. The company is aiming to achieve maximum integration and master data quality.

Philipp Lübcke, CIO at Thüringer Energie AG, has worked in the industry for 20 years and is thrilled by the dynamism it is currently going through. But that wasn’t always the case. “When I got started in the energy sector, the business was relatively static, and I’ll admit that I was tempted by other industries over the last decade,” he says. Today, he no longer sees any need to change. Just the opposite, in fact: in recent years, the business “has become extremely exciting, and it will stay exciting,” Lübcke adds.

To understand his enthusiasm, all it takes is a look at his current employer, TEAG. The company, headquartered in Erfurt and with over 2,200 employees, supplies households and businesses with electricity, natural gas, heating, and water. It also added a telecommunications subsidiary to its portfolio several years ago, which offers broadband access, mobile telephony, and additional services such as storage. It has a new subsidiary for electromobility and another for photovoltaics.

In addition to these new business areas, the company’s core business—supplying electricity—is undergoing drastic changes. Lübcke emphasizes: “The energy transition is irreversible, and that doesn’t only mean the end of nuclear power, but also the end of coal-fired generation in the long term.”

Decarbonization requires decentralization and digitalization

The future lies in the central supply of natural gas and hydrogen through power plants, along with decentralized power generation through photovoltaics and wind power, according to Lübcke. “We give the municipalities in Thuringia all the support we can when it comes to executing the transition locally,” he says. To succeed, this energy transition requires perfect coordination of what experts refer to as “the three big Ds”: decarbonization requires decentralization, which in turn is only possible with maximum digitalization.

Which brings us to SAP, TEAG’s largest and most important strategic partner. In 2022, TEAG decided to move all its core processes for the energy sector—meter reading, billing, device management, contract and customer management, information exchange, and subledger accounting—to SAP S/4HANA Cloud in the long term. “That made us the first energy supplier with a comprehensive RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud strategy,” Lübcke says. “The energy sector is undergoing fundamental change, and data interchange within the companies will increase significantly. Decentralization and maximum digitalization mean that we will be processing much more data much faster, offering a variety of new cloud services based on AI, and creating many more automated decision-making processes.” All of which will require maximum integration and high-quality master data. And they also need the right partner.

Learning to manage complex projects

TEAG intends to migrate all seven of its deployed systems that manage master data to the new platform incrementally, a plan that has been divided into three large-scale projects. The first involved the implementation of the SAP S/4HANA core—initially on premise—including master data cleansing and version management of large amounts of legacy data. This project, which has been completed in the interim, involved around 200 internal employees and externals. Along the way, the team gained the ability to manage even complex SAP projects.

In the second step, TEAG implemented SAP S/4HANA Utilities, an ERP solution specifically for energy suppliers, together with the SAP Customer Experience portfolio based on SAP Service Cloud, divided into the three market roles of electricity supplier, grid operator, and metering point operation. This project has been underway for 18 months, and TEAG will go live with it on December 1, 2025, initially with the role of electricity supplier.

Last but not least, the third transformation project involves implementing SAP SuccessFactors solutions for workforce management. To this end, the company developed a road map in 2024, “so we can optimally leverage everything we need for this,” Lübcke says.

Demographic change is forcing the transition

The utility company aims to decommission all its current SAP systems by the end of 2027 and move them to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The fact that TEAG has decided to run its central applications in the cloud in the long term, in addition to going all-in on SAP, is a result of the fourth “big D” in this story: demographics. “We won’t be able to completely replace the many employees who will be retiring in the next 10 years,” Lübcke says. “That’s why we need to become more independent of labor-intensive processes overall.”

Working in the cloud means getting a boost from AI

The company’s cloud strategy supports this goal, because it means TEAG will not only need less expensive hardware in the future but it will also require fewer highly-trained people to run and provide the systems.

And people who work in the cloud—with the resulting consistent focus on platform strategy and standardization—can take advantage of artificial intelligence in many areas. Take Joule, for example. This copilot is based on generative AI and learns from SAP data to help give users context-sensitive support.

All in all, “IT will take center stage more than ever for energy suppliers,” Lübcke says. “And business IT is also getting closer to key business decisions than ever before. That’s what gives the job so much variety and makes it so exciting.”

And it will certainly protect the TEAG CIO from temptation from other industries in the future.

Harnessing the Power of SAP and NVIDIA to Deliver SAP Business AI Locally

by tempuser_2770432575 0 Comments

In an era where artificial intelligence has transitioned from a disruptive force to an operational necessity, global enterprises face new challenges and opportunities. The adoption of AI is no longer limited to experimental use cases or niche areas—it is the backbone of business transformation.

Our commitment to innovation drives every initiative we undertake. As a global leader in enterprise software solutions, we are uniquely positioned to deliver AI capabilities tailored to our customers’ needs. This dedication is at the heart of our enhanced AI strategy and why we are partnering with NVIDIA to embed NVIDIA NIM microservices, including a new microservice designed to work with a broad range of LLMs, which now supports deploying over 100,000 models into our architecture, enabling customers to harness the power of AI while meeting the specific demands of their local markets and industries.

Local AI from SAP can ensure that AI prompts and customer data stay within SAP-controlled environments, helping to enhance security and ensure compliance with regional regulations. By focusing on local deployment and aligning with NIM microservices, our strategy prioritizes scalability without compromising compliance or security.

“NVIDIA NIM microservices deliver optimized inference performance, portability, and enterprise support for custom models, helping customers accelerate innovation at every stage of the AI development and deployment cycle,” said Kari Briski, vice president, Generative AI Software for Enterprise, NVIDIA. “With NVIDIA NIM microservices on SAP Business AI, developers can supercharge AI adoption with local models running on local infrastructure.”

Why highly regulated industries demand a new AI paradigm

Industries like healthcare and public services stand at a crossroads. These are sectors where the stakes are highest—where AI can revolutionize patient care or streamline essential services—but the constraints are equally significant. Data sovereignty laws, compliance obligations, and the need for operational transparency often place these industries in a bind, forcing leaders to choose between accelerating innovation or staying compliant. SAP has long understood these challenges and has taken deliberate steps to provide solutions that strike the right balance.

Collaboration as a catalyst for innovation

As part of our ongoing drive to enhance AI adoption, SAP has optimized its architecture to leverage some of the most advanced inference technologies available. By collaborating with model innovators such as Aleph Alpha, Meta, and Mistral, alongside our own fine-tuned ABAP model, we aim to deliver a curated selection of trusted AI tools. These models are designed to address multilingual, explainable, and retrieval-augmented generation tasks, working to ensure that enterprises have access to solutions tailored to their unique business challenges. By placing our customers’ needs at the forefront, SAP can deliver AI systems that are not only more powerful but also deeply embedded in the enterprise ecosystem.

Building AI that’s market-aware and customer-driven

Enterprise leaders are under growing pressure to translate innovation into measurable outcomes. Our expanded collaboration with NVIDIA aims to address these demands with a focus on:

Enterprise-grade performance: Leveraging NVIDIA NIM and curated models, fine-tuned by SAP for enterprise-grade performance
Operational flexibility: Supporting local deployment while seamlessly integrating with SAP’s technology ecosystem
Strategic alignment: Addressing the shifting dynamics of AI sovereignty and industrial leadership

What’s next for enterprise AI?

The road ahead for AI in enterprises is as exciting as it is demanding. Compliance will remain a core concern, but so too will the need for agility and innovation. Through our partnership with NVIDIA, we are not just responding to these demands—we are anticipating them, building infrastructure and solutions that can empower our customers to stay ahead of the curve.

For businesses ready to embark on this journey, the process starts now. Explore how our AI solutions can redefine what’s possible for your business.
