挑战
Canada Post faced significant challenges in loading data into its SAP solution. The process was time-consuming and costly, requiring third-party IT suppliers to develop CATT and ABAP scripts. Manual data entry from Excel spreadsheets into SAP R/3 led to increased data entry errors. The labor-intensive work processes were not an effective use of employees' time. The Organizational Planning unit needed to load job evaluation points for over 8,000 job positions into SAP, which was estimated to take several months if done manually. Time Management also experienced delays, taking 12 to 16 hours each week to unlock employee records by manually entering data from Excel sheets into SAP.
解决方案
Canada Post selected Automate Studio after evaluating solutions from several vendors. Automate Studio allows business users or functional analysts to shuttle data between Microsoft Excel and any SAP application without requiring programming. The familiar interface of Excel or Access simplifies the process of interacting with various SAP solutions, including mySAP and SAP NetWeaver, without needing IT support. Canada Post chose Automate Studio for its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and speed in integrating data. The solution enabled the Organizational Planning unit to automate the loading of job evaluation points for over 8,000 positions into SAP in less than a week, compared to the several months estimated for manual entry. The Time Management team now takes approximately an hour to unlock employee records, a significant reduction from the previous 16 hours.
