SAP AG today announced that EMI Music, part of the EMI Group, a global media and entertainment leader is deploying mySAP ERP across its worldwide operations. The SAP rollout underpins the company's efforts to[more] evolve successfully with the changing customer and market demands of the digital age by better analyzing regional and global business performance and responding more quickly with new products and business models.
With the aim of harmonizing financial and sales processes, increasing transparency and improving efficiency of global reporting, SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is replacing various legacy systems for accounting, purchasing, sales order capture and financial reporting. With the first phase of the global rollout successfully completed in the UK and Ireland in 2004, mySAP ERP is currently being rolled out in Japan and will be extended globally over the next three to five years.
"The entertainment industry is changing dramatically and we aim to evolve accordingly to take advantage of the opportunities arising from new sales and distribution channels," said Andrew Hickey, Chief Technology Officer, EMI Music. "After re-evaluating our global sales and financial processes and identifying potential areas of benefit, we found SAP's ERP suite to be best-suited to help us adapt with these business changes. With SAP we will have a single, integrated solution to help track, analyze and manage worldwide business performance and make faster, more-informed decisions based on real-time financial and market insight."
