Dedicated to helping manufacturers get smarter, it was experiencing significant growth and wanted to expand its product selection into more solution- and service-package offerings, to create greater value and recurring revenue for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its existing ERP system was struggling to keep pace with the growing demands of the business. Cognex selected SAP S\/4HANA for its ERP backbone because of its maturity and stability. It would also provide cross-functional integration to connect all areas of the business and consolidate data to deliver more value.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cognex transforms its ERP system with SAP S\/4HANA\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s2lQJhp8zzw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe made the decision to invest in a world-class platform, but it was step one in a multi-phased project,\u201d says Doug Curren, Senior Director, Business Applications, Cognex. \u201cHaving SAP as a foundation means you have a solid bottom floor of the house. You cannot build more floors without that strong base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cognex chose to work with Capgemini on the integration because of its manufacturing experience, SAP credentials, and existing methodologies. Following the transition, the S\/4HANA applications are hosted on Microsoft Azure. Cognex also uses Capgemini Cloud Platform (CCP) as a single cloud-management system to help the company leverage the efficiency and agility of these cloud solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are a data-driven company, so we are very excited about the opportunities to use the data,\u201d says Curren. \u201cWe are already seeing more sophisticated conversations across the business and more employees are seeing the potential value this project can bring. It is exciting to start to build on it and move to the next stage of our IT roadmap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contact-us\">Contact Us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;proper_form id=119928]<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"cg_dt_proposed_to":[],"cg_seo_hreflang_relations":"[]","cg_seo_canonical_relation":"","cg_seo_hreflang_x_default_relation":"{\"uuid\":\"c01502a1-fd2b-4bd7-b792-20de56e447a0\",\"blogId\":\"\",\"domain\":\"\",\"sitePath\":\"\",\"postLink\":\"\",\"postId\":null,\"isSaved\":true,\"isCrossLink\":false,\"hasCrossLink\":false}","cg_dt_approved_content":true,"cg_dt_mandatory_content":false,"cg_dt_notes":"","cg_dg_source_changed":false,"cg_dt_link_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","client_logo_id":0,"client_logo_url":"","primary_term":"","featured_focal_points":""},"tags":[],"brand":[],"service":[],"industry":[241],"partners":[177],"country":[324],"content-group":[],"class_list":["post-514893","client-story","type-client-story","status-publish","hentry","industry-manufacturing","partners-sap","country-usa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) -
