JK CEMENT, one of India’s premier cement companies, has undergone a massive digital journey in the last two and a half years. The company has now become more data-centric and technology-driven than ever before
Speaking exclusively to Express Computer, Singh gives out details of this transformation and how JK Cement aspires to become a 90 per cent digital company by 2020.
He shares, “Our digital journey started with the suggestions and feedback taken from our re-engineering partner, Accenture’s report. We saw that report as an opportunity to go digital as far as possible, covering the core processes such as order to cash, order to dispatch, plan to produce, procure to pay, record to report. With our due diligence, we started prioritising processes, either based on saving cost or generating additional revenues. We have rolled out more than 20 digitalisation initiatives across the organisation in the last two years.”
SAP drives the digital journey
The first step of the company towards its digital direction was strengthening the core, SAP, with recent updates and upgrades. The options for the company was either upgrading to the most recent version or moving on to the latest offerings from SAP by S4 HANA. Instead of going in for S4 HANA as it is. The company migrated from the current state to a new state with EHP 8, followed by moving to Suite on HANA. It took one year for JK Cement to move to Suite on HANA, wherein the speed has increased multifold and performance of MIS and analytics has become better.
