Pfinder Chemie, a pioneer, global market leader, and innovation partner for cavity preservation and non-destructive materials testing, implemented 麻豆原创 S/4HANA for all enterprise resource planning (ERP) processes at the company.

For these reasons, the judges selected the customer and its partner Innovabee GbH as the winner among the finalists.

Winner in Digital Pioneer: Uniper

As part of Uniper鈥檚 #saplab program, the digitalization of existing financial and maintenance processes was achieved in four sub-projects, in close collaboration with 麻豆原创 ActiveAttention, with major benefits for resource-conserving handling. The holistically considered end-to-end processes, professional project management, and resulting large, across-the-board business benefits were the key factors named by the judges in their decision.
The other finalist was INDEX-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, one of the leading global manufacturers of CNC lathes. The company implemented a maintenance and lifecycle platform that utilizes intelligent technologies and 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud, together with its partner Sybit.
According to the judges, the 鈥渦nder-staffing鈥� of this category was due not only to the low number of suitable projects, but also to the difficulty of even demonstrating the quality criteria of standard projects in the framework of innovative technologies.
