WALLDORF and TOKYO 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announced NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701 鈥淣EC鈥�) has selected 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud through the RISE with 麻豆原创 solution, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Together with implementation partner ABeam Consulting, the migration will leverage NEC鈥檚 generative AI technology and 麻豆原创鈥檚 natural language, generative AI Joule copilot.
NEC, a Japan-based multinational leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, was seeking to optimize costs and streamline data systems to increase integration across its lines of business. As part of advancing its digital transformation, NEC will migrate from on-premise 麻豆原创 S/4HANA software to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud and adopt a clean-core approach, which emphasizes standard offerings and extends them while also reducing future upgrade and operational costs.
NEC is currently operating a large-scale system that includes 1,200 add-ons and more than 200 external interfaces. To migrate to the cloud, NEC will use generative AI to facilitate a clean-core transformation, streamline migration costs and improve operational efficiency. NEC鈥檚 generative AI and 麻豆原创鈥檚 Joule copilot for natural language processing will automate critical processes such as add-on analysis, report interpretation, code generation from specifications and test automation. Joule is 麻豆原创鈥檚 generative AI assistant that understands the user鈥檚 unique role and acts as a work copilot across 麻豆原创 applications to streamline tasks. NEC will be among the first companies to leverage AI tools from 麻豆原创 to streamline its migrations.
“NEC sees itself as the first customer of its own innovations, applying cutting-edge technologies internally and sharing the gained insights and know-how with customers and society,鈥� NEC President and CEO Takayuki Morita said. 鈥淭his milestone implementation with 麻豆原创 creates a new industry blueprint for other businesses looking to migrate to the cloud, underscoring NEC’s commitment to leading by example in technological adoption and societal contributions.鈥�
By migrating to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, NEC anticipates more-efficient system operations by tapping into AI to support version upgrades and reduce future operation-related costs while being able to quickly respond to market changes. By leveraging innovative technologies including AI, NEC aims to digitally drive societal and industry transformations. This migration to the cloud is a key part of NEC’s 2025 mid-term management plan focusing on internal, customer and societal digital transformations.
鈥淥ur shared vision with NEC of creating a sustainable society through digital transformation is the foundation for our long-term partnership,鈥� said Christian Klein, CEO and member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淭his project marks a milestone in our relationship, and we鈥檙e excited to support NEC on their continued transformation journey.鈥�
