One of the challenges was how to present the processes within a corporate group without confusing the audience. And the winner is the team of the SAP consulting house, itelligence AG with it.manufacturing based on SAP Business All-in-One.
The scenario for this system comparison corresponded to day-to-day ERP usage at an accelerated pace.

Everything was there – customer acquisition with a campaign, customer visits and the offer, cross-company scheduling and confirmation, production and delivery with export to a foreign country, and final cost calculation with evaluation and analysis. In order to make the competition as realistic as possible, the testers also included spontaneous changes during the project such as a change to the production order after release from internal to external production or changes to packaging according to requirements and customs declaration via ATLAS.
