SAP ERP Implementation
Integration of foreign subsidiaries into the SAP system of Elster AG
As a long-standing consulting partner of the former ELSTER AG in Germany, PIKON was asked to map the business processes of their foreign subsidiaries on their SAP system. For Elster Metering in Stafford (United Kingdom), the SAP R/3 implementation by PIKON included logistics as well as finance and accounting. In addition, interfaces to external systems were custom-developed.
