OREANDA-NEWS. Tele2, an alternative mobile operator, has launched a large-scale project on introducing an information system for managing business processes based on SAP ERP.

Strategic course for Tele2 development implies expansion of the operator's operations and better management efficiency. Tele2 introduces single business processes and organizational structure at mobile assets consolidated as a result of a joint venture with Rostelecom. To carry out comprehensive integration, Tele2 took decision to launch a single system for managing its resources - SAP ERP.

As a part of the project the company will use all SAP ERP function modules including SAP Real Estate, Treasury and Risk Management, Portfolio and Project Management as well as many others.

The innovation platform SAP HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance) will be used to store all data in-memory and handle all operations in real-time.

Besides, Tele2 was the first to order Quality Assurance 2.0, new software developed by SAP CIS. Thanks to the service the company will get highly-qualified help over the project's entire life cycle - from compiling requirements for the software to its commissioning. By following recommendation of SAP experts, the operator will be able to locate and minimize risks of integration at every stage, get maximum return on investment into SAP solutions and increase business efficiency.

Lyudmila Smirnova, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer at Tele2:

"Taking into account our businesses' consolidation as a part of a JV, Tele2 needs an instrument that is capable of providing support for the company's key processes. By transferring all processes onto SAP ERP platform, we are creating a transparent and centralized system for managing our business - it has all necessary potential for federal-scale growth and support of the company's further development."

Vyacheslav Orekhov, CEO of SAP CIS:

"In its choice of software supplier Tele2 was guided by crucially important business criteria: the payback period, wide operational range, results of competitive analysis. We are glad that our solution is recognized as most complying with the client's requirements in terms of all indicators - from technical characteristics to positive feedback from the clients who successfully use it. I am sure that the system will help the company reach a new level of leadership on a highly competitive telecommunications market."
