Sacyr chooses Google Cloud for unified business resource platform with SAP S/4HANA
Spanish infrastructure operator and developer company Sacyr has been helping to build services for citizens all over the world since 1986. The global construction group operates in more than twenty countries on five continents and employs almost 38,000 people worldwide.
As well as construction, Sacyr also provides services through its Sacyr Concessions, Sacyr Industrial, and Sacyr Services divisions, covering solutions such as facilities management, maintenance, and cleaning to energy, food services, and water treatment.
In the past, Sacyr didn’t have a unified financial process model that worked across all the businesses and employed different models based on various technological solutions in its divisions.
Francisco Gonzalo, CIO, Sacyr Group said: “We lacked a unique set of data at the group level,” says Francisco Gonzalo. “We needed a unified solution to define, analyse, and prototype our economic and financial processes, and we wanted to implement it across all our business areas in a rapid, scalable way.”
Sacyr decide to build BAMBU, a unified ERP system by hosting SAP S/4HANA on Google Cloud, which improved the management and traceability of key business information and created a common data governance model. In order for this system to work to its maximum potential, the company chose Google Cloud for its new SAP S/4HANA landscape.
Gonzalo continued: “To remain competitive, we have to manage increasingly demanding requirements for speed, flexibility, and scalability. The key to our business environment is flexibility, in order to manage multiple divisions and short- and long-term projects, as well as growing through acquisition over various geographical locations.”
Sacyr is continuing to roll out the BAMBU project to its other divisions and is confident that Google Cloud will help it to meet its new project objectives for the next phase of the implementation. “Working with Google Cloud, we know that our platform can evolve in seconds, and accommodate new technologies as they emerge on the market,” added Gonzalo. “We don’t need to plan in advance for system updates, and we have a robust path for growth.”
