Expertum, a leading SAP partner, is taking the next step in its growth. With the support of investment company Sofindev, Expertum is accelerating its ambition to become the strategic partner for SAP services in Europe. The company is tackling the challenges associated with these growth ambitions with a transition to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
Expertum is a leading SAP partner, active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia and Croatia. The company aims to expand its capacity, strengthen its innovative strength and build sustainable customer relationships. A combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions must shape these ambitions.
Challenges in growth
However, these growth ambitions also bring specific challenges. One of the biggest obstacles for Expertum was the fragmentation of the financial processes. This fragmentation led to inconsistencies and inefficiencies in reporting across countries and entities. This lack of uniformity hinders operational efficiency and poses a challenge for further scalability. In addition, different legislation in Slovenia and Croatia complicates the reporting process.
The company wants to tackle these challenges by switching to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. This solution helps Expertum centralize and optimize its processes. This switch leads to improved reporting capabilities and increases operational efficiency. By consolidating solutions, Expertum can report faster and more accurately to management and the board of directors. This is crucial for further growth.
Impact on all business processes
Implementing SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud will impact all company levels, from consultants to administration. The various teams will benefit from the improved processes, from time registration to invoicing. Thanks to the better integration of the solutions, support services can better support the consultants and report more accurately to management.
This choice is logical from the perspective of the partnership with SAP and enables Expertum to demonstrate what the technology can do. Expertum strongly believes in the ‘walk-the-talk’ principle: using what they recommend to their customers themselves.
Basis for scalable growth
“With SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, Expertum can not only comply with complex international legislation and improve operational efficiency, but we are also creating the basis for scalable growth,” says Chris van Gerven, CCO of Expertum Netherlands. ‘It is therefore not just a technological upgrade, but an investment in the future of our company and a strategic proposition for our customers in the mid-market segment.”
