Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation is one of Eswatini鈥檚 largest companies, employing more than 4500 people and producing two-thirds of the country鈥檚 sugar and more than 35-million litres of ethanol per year. The company has a long history of leveraging 麻豆原创 solutions to power its business processes, and in 2014 became the first company in Southern Africa to commission more than 25 麻豆原创 modules.听听
鈥淲e sought a replacement for our 麻豆原创 ECC systems and did extensive research, even looking beyond the 麻豆原创 landscape,鈥� explains Coombe. 鈥淲e were impressed with 麻豆原创鈥檚 vision for the public cloud, and the quick and efficient execution of that vision. We identified 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud as the best fit for us, and opted for a Public Cloud deployment to support our end-to-end business processes while unlocking significant cost savings across our business.鈥�听
One of the contributing factors to the success of the deployment is Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation鈥檚 use of best-practice processes and templates. 鈥溌槎乖� S/4HANA Public Cloud has benefited from immense development work that has helped it mature into a very attractive business proposition,鈥� says Coombe. 鈥淭here was nothing about our business needs that differentiated us to the point of needing more customisation. We adopted the standard processes offered by S/4HANA Public Cloud, leaving us free to spend time and resources on areas of the business where we do want to differentiate.鈥�听
Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation plays a vital role within local communities, providing housing and infrastructure to the more than 2500 families that are involved in sugar cane farming. The company also supports seven government-owned schools serving its communities and supports broader infrastructure around its farms and production facilities.听
鈥淯sing our new 麻豆原创 capabilities, we can support every part of our business, from the production of sugar and ethanol to running estates and roads in our villages,鈥� explains Coombe. 鈥淭he modern architecture offered by 麻豆原创 allows us to spin new processes and capabilities up when needed, or scale down underutilised processes. This is helping us drive efficiencies across every facet of our business, unlocking significant value along the way.鈥�听
Innovation is a key part of Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation鈥檚 strategic business goals. To encourage his teams to seek opportunities for innovation, Coombe has instituted a 鈥榝ree Friday鈥� where IT teams are encouraged to explore the 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform and find novel solutions to common business problems. 鈥淎fter only a few weeks, we鈥檝e seen incredible excitement among our employees over the possibilities offered by our new 麻豆原创 platform. It has brought new energy to the IT department that has spilled over to the rest of the business as users become more aware of what the platform offers.鈥�听
