S&T wins SAP Project in the Czech Republic

SAP Implementation for Printing Machine Manufacturer KBA Grafitec

KBA Grafitec, which recently became part of Koenig & Bauer AG, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of printing machines, operates in the Czech Republic with 400 employees. Even before its takeover by the KBA Group the company had increasingly felt the need for a more powerful IT solution for its existing information system. With steadily rising production levels and the resulting new and increased demands this placed on the IT systems it was becoming increasingly difficult to adequately support KBA Grafitec’s planning and control activities.

From the very outset S&T worked together closely with the company during the design and development of the new information system. The clear decision in favor of the S&T solution was finally taken by the new owners on the basis of the S&T requirements’ analysis. Crucial factors behind the decision to award the contract to S&T were the extensive feasibility study carried out in advance of the project and the IT service provider’s references in the SAP sector. The financing package offered by S&T – as rental over four years – also played an important role.

Within the scope of the project S&T will deliver and implement the SAP solution and then make the system available to the customer as an outsourcing solution at S&T's own computer centre in Brno.

"We have been active in the ERP business in the Czech Republic for a long time now and in 2005 we were SAP’s top selling partner. The takeover of EFP/Varias in 2005 has enabled us to strengthen our competences in the SAP solutions segment still further," said Christian Rosner, CEO of S&T AG.
