Electrical utility Eskom is the first South African company to be awarded a global Customer Competency Centre (CCC) by leading inter-enterprise solution leader, SAP.
This means Eskom will now act as an interface between the corporate sector and SAP.
The award was made based on the success of Eskom's widely acclaimed SAP project, which was the foundation for the company's new financial and commercial systems implementation, code-named the Finesse programme.
Mike Fullerton, Eskom's Finesse programme director believes this is a great accolade as it means Eskom has measured up with SAP's stringent global CCC standards. "This is a fine tribute to the members of the Finesse project team, from Eskom and SAP Africa team members, to our consultants Hewlett Packard and Andersen Consulting.
"This award, made in February this year, highlights the importance and value of a strategic partnership, such as between Eskom and SAP South Africa," he adds.
Says John Dekker, general manager: Public Services at SAP Africa: "The award represents not only the significant achievement and experience gained by Eskom, but the global recognition of this project as being highly acclaimed."
