State of Arkansas (USA) with NTT Data


Supporting the State of Arkansas's economy by empowering employers and job seekers


S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition; BTP – Process Automation; Services & Support


The Division of Workforce Services (ADWS) is a department within the state that has been an existing SAP ECC customer since 2000. This division is responsible for performing detailed cost allocation for grants and reporting back to its sponsors. They are tasked with allocating State and Federal grants in a timely manner to serve the citizens of Arkansas.  Their mission is to support and secure Arkansas’s economic vitality through the highly skilled workforce by administering programs and providing efficient services that empower employees and job seekers. Key to their mission is driving economic vitality in the State of Arkansas by expediting the delivery of Federal funds to Citizen Facing Services.


Multiple aging systems were used to perform detailed cost allocation for grants and report back to their sponsors. The custom-written system crashed and was inoperative leaving the department with a manual process that was expensive, time-consuming, and exposed risks in their data entry. The inability to provide timely financial reports on a manual system meant the department risked future funding from the Federal government securing salaries. Working with their trusted advisor, NTT Data and SAP they were able to get a contract defined and executed in 23 days.


Work started almost immediately after, with a successful go-live 27 weeks later of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, for the Public Sector. ADWS showed unwavering support for an untried solution and worked tirelessly with SAP and NTT Data to deploy, build, test, and launch the solution.


Therefore, they significantly simplified their existing cost allocation model and met their 6/30/22 deadline. The modular approach allowed the State of Arkansas to be nimble and complete its procurement process on time.


This also enabled the department with a system to perform substantive reporting to improve execution and deliver insights with KPIs. They subsequently reported federal quarterly reports on time for the first time.

Ras Al Khaima Electronic Government Authority (UAE) with Quantum Vision


RAK Municipality Customer Journeys


BTP – Portal, UI5, Business Application Studio; RISE


The goal of our solution was to collect groups of related services into customer journeys. This included a redesign of both front-end and back-end sides of the solution.


On the front-end, we deployed the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) solution extensively, using our partner QV's screen building solution. On the back-end, we created a Journey object, with SAP Business Rule Framework plus (BRF+) capabilities, allowing it to later be inherited multiple times while maintaining the single solution object.


The project greatly influenced the deployment of our government online services and their usage. Our first journey was for RAK Municipality - 'Manage my Land', and following its success, more journeys are following it from different departments, related to Lands, Courts and Business Development.

Royal Mail Group (UK) with EY


SAP Innovation Awards 2023 - PeopleApp - Royal Mail Group and EY


BTP – HANA Cloud, Conversational AI; ECC


The vast majority of Royal Mail Group's 140,000 employees are 'frontline' and are based in the mail centers, delivery offices, and driving the fleet. Apart from via line-managers and traditional surface mail, RMG had no way of engaging and 'transacting' with these employees. Our solution was the 'PeopleApp' - an app that is targeted at (but not limited to) frontline colleagues, giving them direct access to their personal information and business services on their own devices.


Today over 110,000 employees have downloaded and utilized the app on their own devices, creating a new channel of engagement with employees and allowing them to become 'connected' for the first time, whilst also enabling more efficient delivery of services, reducing the administrative overhead online managers and HR, and allowing employees to access and manage their data anytime. PeopleApp is now the 'channel of choice' for all employee engagement at RMG.
