The challenge
Grundfos is a global water technology company and the world’s largest water pump manufacturer. The company manufactures more than 16 million pumps every year, providing drinking and irrigation water and removing wastewater around the world. Grundfos utilizes a large amount of data generated by its connected pumps to predict failures and detect leaks.
The company’s SAP system supports more than 19,000 employees across more than 60 countries. But the prior system—ECC 6.0—was 20 years old and lacked the ability to integrate emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, analytics, IoT and blockchain. As a trusted partner of three years, Grundfos reached out to Cognizant to help migrate the company’s SAP ECC Business Suite to ERP S/4HANA Digital Core.
