SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reducing cost and workload through end-to-end digital process optimization Nuremberg-based IT services provider abl solutions GmbH specializes in smart network solutions. Its employees connect stores, businesses, and cities with WiFi solutions. abl solutions offers a wide range of network components and services, and manages planning, integration, and support for its customers. Previously, abl solutions used disparate systems to underpin everything from enterprise resource planning (ERP) to customer relationship management (CRM). The lack of integration between these different systems resulted in high maintenance effort and costs. Service disruption and a high reliance on manual processes resulted in further errors. The company embarked on a major digital transformation, reorganizing its entire IT landscape to digitalize processes from end to end.
