AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As
part of its digital transformation project, Faurecia, one of the
world's leading automotive equipment suppliers, has chosen to
reinforce its strategic partnership with SAP, a global leader in
enterprise application software.
Following the successful deployment of SAP applications within
Faurecia, the two companies have agreed to pursue new projects
involving digitization and implementation of SAP Cloud
solutions.
Faurecia and SAP first teamed up in 2007 to deploy a single,
integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system used by all
330 Faurecia sites. The ERP project is completed and now sets the
standard for the industry, providing Faurecia employees with a
connected work environment and a shared view of information. The
initiative has reduced per-user IT costs by more than 40% on a
like-for-like basis.
Patrick Koller, Chief
Executive Officer of Faurecia: "This strategic partnership has
improved Faurecia's financial and industrial performance. The Group
is now in a position to accelerate its digital transformation and
ready to fully benefit from new SAP innovations, which will
contribute to new competitive advantages."
"We have been successfully working with Faurecia for more than a
decade, but the best is yet to come, said Bill McDermott, CEO of SAP. Our partnership
is built on mutual trust, and a bold spirit of co-innovation. We
are thrilled Faurecia was part of the inauguration of the SAP
Leonardo Center in Paris. Together
we will explore exciting new digital use cases that will help
cement Faurecia's position as an Industry 4.0 thought-leader."
