“We’re proud that we can guide a company like Renson, a trendsetter in their sector, through their process of digital transformation. The combination of delaware’s years of experience with our innovative technologies and SAP is a successful match to help Renson optimize their business processes.” – Stijn De Beuckelaer, Sales Director SAP

Designing data to boost efficiency and drive transformation

To achieve their vision,Renson developed SunRise to implement a full SAP solution with delaware, including SAP S/4HANA, SAP Customer Experience (previously known as SAP C/4HANA), SAP Engineering Control Center and SAP Vendor Invoice Management by OpenText.

Operational excellence is guaranteed with the SAP S/4HANA preconfigured solution FAST-Engineer, while SAP Customer Experience offers a complete platform for customer experience in both the B2B and B2C markets. SAP Engineering Control Center will increase the engineering efficiency by connecting the CAD systems to the operating environment based on SAP S/4HANA.

Aside from their familiarity with these proven tools, delaware relies on its customized, time-tested project methodologies and provides experienced people in all areas of SAP expertise. Its proven track record in similar industry environments, as well as its solid reputation and a steadily expanding international presence were other convincing factors influencing Renson’s decision to choose delaware for this mission.

“This is so much more than an average IT-project, it’s a complete transformation for the whole Renson group. So personally, I’m really looking forward to the implementation of SunRise.” – Paul Renson, CEO, Renson Ventilation & Sunprotection & Outdoor

Building on shared experience for future success
