Developing the R&D project management solution for a manufacturing multinational
Vanenburg built an advanced R&D project management module on top of SAP propelled by the app development capabilities of Google Cloud. All R&D projects (which can run up to ten years) across 55 R&D centers and 22,000+ users globally use the solutions
Their challenges were:
- The customer required a solution to manage all its R&D projects comprising the latest innovations catering to its advanced business processes.
- High functionality is needed with included modules such as planning, approval, tracking of milestones and investments, risk management, and time management.
- Developing this in their core ERP was deemed not economical by the customer, given the associated license cost (for their considerable number of users), customization, and development time required.
