SAP & PwC launch huge ERP transformation to modernize & unify operations

SAP announced a major global enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformation to modernize and unify PwC’s operations.

By taking advantage of the SAP solutions in SAP Business Suite such as SAP Cloud ERP, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and SAP Concur, over 100,000 PwC professionals across 19 countries are now connected on a unified, intelligent ERP platform, according to the announcement.

Developed in close collaboration between PwC and SAP, the program replaces highly customized legacy SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) software and a fragmented mix of SAP and third-party software, creating a more agile, scalable and standardized environment for PwC’s operations.

PwC will also continue to leverage the Joule copilot and SAP Business AI to unlock new opportunities for efficiency, innovation and business intelligence.
