Business Wire
Celsia, an energy subsidiary of Grupo Argos, has selected
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) to implement SAP S/4HANA® to help improve
functions for 10 utility subsidiaries in Colombia, Panama, Costa
Rica and Honduras that generate and distribute electricity across
Latin America. The solution will help simplify and increase
efficiency of data integration for Celsia’s finance, controller,
logistics, purchasing, maintenance, quality and finance
consolidation functions.
Using SAP S/4HANA, 28 power plants will be integrated in a full
preventive maintenance program that allows proactive supervision
and management of assets, including budgeting, execution and fixed
assets capitalization. As a result, plant operations can be
streamlined, helping reduce operational risk and expenses.
Accenture is managing the implementation of SAP S4/HANA to help
Celsia harmonize and simplify its business processes with a digital
solution that addresses current demands and positions the company
for future growth opportunities.
“Dynamic conditions of the electric power industry in Central
America and South America require a flexible solution that we can
quickly scale to ensure we are always ahead of the game to better
meet the needs of our customers and other stakeholders,” said
Claudia Salazar, HR & IT leader at Celsia. “Working with
Accenture, we are building the new system within budget in time,
scope and cost.”
Beatriz Carmona, Technology Lead for the Hispanic South America
region and Client Account Lead for Grupo Argos, added: “This
project creates an intelligent, cost-effective platform for Celsia
that simplifies its business processes and provides a modern
foundation for continuous improvements and for their digital
transformation journey. We are especially proud of our
collaboration with Celsia across different countries and achieving
on-time project delivery.”
Accenture is delivering the work at Celsia’s headquarters in
Medellín, Colombia. Accenture’s Advanced Technology Center in
Brazil was a key resource during the project estimation and
staffing process, with support from Advanced Technology Centers in
India, Mexico and Argentina.
