We have been successfully working with PIKON in S/4HANA projects worldwide for years. I particularly appreciate the consultants’ high level of IT and process expertise, which goes far beyond the scope of the respective SAP module. With PIKON, we have a committed, reliable and pragmatic partner with whom we are always happy to work.

The transition to SAP S/4HANA demanded a lot from the entire organisation at EBZ. Therefore, we were glad to have found a partner in PIKON who not only assisted us during the Go-Live (Big Bang with foreign subsidiaries in the USA and China) but also ensured a smooth transition afterward, working together with our internal SAP team and not leaving our employees on their own. The PIKON consultants provided us with strong support during our Greenfield implementation.

An easy-to-use solution for the end user, the data transfer to the HMRC works smoothly. PIKON’s employees are experienced consultants who ensure a quick and smooth installation.
Based on our positive experience in the MTD project, this was certainly not the last solution that we will realise together with PIKON.

In PIKON, we had a consulting partner with experience in the industry which was up to the complex challenge of this project. The project succeeded on a conceptual and technical level thanks to the business background of the IT consultants. And thanks to the necessary sensitivity to the corporate culture, the new processes are still put into practice today.

By increasing the use of prototypes, we’ve greatly improved the mutual understanding between developers and sales staff. The biggest challenge in the ultimate implementation of the project was to get 500 users in our global sales structure using the new software as quickly as possible without losing efficiency by running legacy and new software concurrently.
