VR took SAP to pub­lic cloud successfully

VR Group car­ried out a sys­tem renew­al, in which their SAP busi­ness appli­ca­tion was trans­ferred to Ama­zon Web Ser­vices plat­form. The aim of the project was to car­ry out the reform on a fast sched­ule, with­out com­pro­mis­ing busi­ness oper­a­tions. The project brought about an acute need for a qual­i­fied and expe­ri­enced Project Man­ag­er as well as a Test & Inte­gra­tion Manager.

At Islet VR found expe­ri­enced SAP experts who fit well into the need­ed roles and were able to start at short notice. Just two weeks after the first con­tact, the Islet­ters began their work on VR’s sys­tem reform project. The Islet­ters were well received by the project team as part of their work com­mu­ni­ty. The coop­er­a­tion went smooth­ly, although using exter­nal experts to lead and guide VR’s own project team was a new expe­ri­ence for VR.

The roles of Project Man­ag­er and Test & Inte­gra­tion Man­ag­er required diverse expe­ri­ence in sup­port­ing project con­tract nego­ti­a­tions and project man­age­ment, includ­ing project man­age­ment (tools and mod­els), project plan­ning and imple­men­ta­tion, and reporting.

The sys­tem reform was suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed, on sched­ule and on bud­get. VR and oth­er project stake­hold­ers were very sat­is­fied, and thanks to the expe­ri­ence VR was able to expand its project man­age­ment toolkit.

I was impressed with Islet­ters’ pro­fes­sion­al­ism, project man­age­ment skills and method­ol­o­gy. They were very expe­ri­enced, had excel­lent com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills and our team wel­comed them warm­ly straight away. The project man­age­ment mod­els and tools pro­vid­ed by Islet were also an essen­tial part of project com­mu­ni­ca­tion and imple­men­ta­tion for deliv­er­ing the project on time and on bud­get. We are hap­py to rec­om­mend Islet.
