The US automotive company implemented SAP across its global distribution network to better track vehicle movements. However, deficiencies in process modeling led to operational difficulties. Atlas Systems conducted an assessment and identified challenges like high IT costs, lack of standardization and expertise. Atlas helped retrofit the SAP modules to align with the company's unique dealer-less model. This streamlined processes and improved service levels, reducing costs while enhancing the customer experience.

Many mid- to small-size insurance companies strive to run SAP
solutions in asset accounting and reporting (SAP CML, SAP
CFM) but are not ready to invest heavily in implementing and
running SAP. The cloud technology will allow these companies
to exploit the advantages of a SAP based solution without
major upfront investment in technical infrastructure, licensing
and consulting fees. A template based SAP CML/CFM run in
the Cloud will address this issue.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. OVERVIEW
• The client, a US auto giant involved in manufacturing and distribution of
high-end electric powered automobiles and electric
vehicle powertrain components.
• The design of the overall product and customer-specific components of
the vehicle is done at US location. The client decided to roll out a SAP
to track the movement of vehicles within its distribution network across
the globe.
3. BACKGROUND
• The client partnered with Atlas Systems to do an assessment and suggest/
implement remedial actions surrounding the SAP implementation.The key to
the success of this very brand-driven client is its ability to deliver vehicles to its
customers on time, anywhere in the world.
• The distribution network had to be kept running at peak levels and operating
costs had to be controlled. It is worth mentioning here that the automotive
industry operates on very tight margins and reducing costs remains a top
priority.
• The client engaged with Atlas to address the challenges and Atlas had to
understand the business processes and technology being used by the client.
4. CHALLENGES
• The client was battling the high costs of maintaining the existing IT solutions (some
on SAP), redesigning IT systems for offices in other regions and future product line
integration(s)
• Customer felt that there were many deficiencies in the way processes were
modelled in some of the SAP modules, making it extremely difficult to operate the
software.
• The unsatisfactory service levels and issue resolution processes, led to erratic and
inadequate support to the businesses.Also, there was not enough in-house
expertise to execute the IS Auto upgrade (from 2.0 to 3.0) and rollouts
• There was lack of standardization of SAP Wholesale processes in the region
despite commonalities
• The inability to adapt to new technologies quickly made improvements in the
current processes very difficult
• The client's multiple IT contractors lacked focus and commitment, which had a
negative impact on earlier attempts to implement a solution
5. SOLUTION
• SAP ERP software was implemented at Customer location to control its total operation;
they installed FI/CO (Financial Accounting and Controlling), Service Management (SM),
Sales & Distribution (SD), and Material Management (MM), Production Planning (PP),
and Quality Management (QM) modules to manage their operations.
• Based upon its’ unique value realization approach to help drive transformation programs
to achieve tangible business benefits, we engaged at various level of the Customer
organization to formulate a plan to make corrections to the SAP SM/SD modules.Atlas
undertook an audit and due diligence of the existing processes and working model and
came up with recommendations for implementation within weeks. This was achieved
against odds like tight deadlines, very limited knowledge at that time of the client's
processes, as well as with having to coordinate with geographically dispersed teams.
• Based upon our assessment, we found that the sales & distribution channel of the client
is uniquely structured – Instead of usual franchised dealer model prevalent in
automobile industry.The traditional OEM to Dealer transactions, therefore, becomes
internal to the Customer system. Many of the formal (& traditional) OEM to Dealer
transactions results to internal accounting entries within the Customer SAP system.
6. SOLUTION
• In order to make the operation of the Customer Store conform to both
Customer’s requirements and industry best practices, Store Retrofit
Project was implemented to -
• Make retro corrections to the SAP SM/SD modules to conform to the processes
defined by the Customer and Atlas Systems for operation of the Customer’s Company
owned Stores
• Design and install a Point-of-Sale system in the store integrated to SAP
• Provide the proper reports for operating the Store
• Design & implement forms for sales of vehicles, parts, and service in the Customer Store
• Provide documentation and training materials for Store operations
• As part of the solution, SAP software modules for Portal and Net-
Weaver were also installed
7. RESULTS
• Once their back office accounting & sales processes were streamlined and work-flows were
implemented to conform to their established processes, the Customer was able to focus
redefining the whole customer experience in the way car is sold to consumers.Today they are
known to provide ‘not-heard-of’ retail experience to automobile customers and setting
standards in the industry.
• Benefits
• In the areas of development, second-level support and local rollout support, the client
reduced costs significantly.
• Atlas helped client establish a professional, technical and management approach to
support and projects
• The client has witnessed service levels going up to 70-80 percent from unknown low
levels as a result of the SLA based service culture.Atlas set SLA improvement targets and
achieved them
• Atlas strong SAP consulting and domain expertise enabled effective business process
mapping and defining new processes that directly translates to a well-managed IT system
that meets business needs of the client
