TNT Express wins SAP EMEA Quality Award
TNT Express, with support from Atos Origin, an international IT services company, has recently completed the 56th country in a global SAP implementation to 62 countries.
The global multi-million Euro program, which is already delivering savings and business benefits, was recognized at a recent SAP award ceremony, where TNT Express won the SAP EMEA Quality Award for Global Implementation and Roll-out.
To date, the benefits for TNT Express of the global SAP roll-out include savings in purchasing and inventory, strengthened reporting processes to ensure compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and improved management of IS/IT through a global customer competence centre. The success of this award winning project is due to the resolute commitment from TNT Express, the strong project team and the focus, energy and pragmatic style, with which Atos Origin has supported the implementation.
At a separate ceremony in London, Atos Origin won the UK SAP Partner Excellence award for Customer Satisfaction and Quality for the third year in succession. This highly coveted award is determined by an independent customer satisfaction survey, in which customers are asked to rate SAP partners on all aspects of the SAP implementation process, including professional competence, quality of consultants, SAP product know-how and ability to deliver on time and to budget.
The awards in Prague were led by Dr Svan Lembke, Vice President and in charge of the Quality Programme for SAP across EMEA. After the event, Dr Lembke concluded: “TNT Express have embraced key principles of quality early in their implementation and involved their partner Atos Origin and SAP to achieve a successful global roll-out. Having been involved with Atos Origin for more than 3 years it is tremendous to see them win the UK Partner Excellence Award and the win for TNT Express shows the collaboration in practice”.
