Devoteam Successfully Drives SAP S/4HANA Transformation at gkv informatik

Through a holistic transformation initiative, Devoteam successfully supported gkv informatik in migrating to SAP S/4HANA. The new IT landscape ensures that this IT service provider for statutory health insurance remains efficient, secure, and innovation-ready well into the future.

The challenge was clear-cut: With SAP R/3 support nearing its end, a high-performance, flexible, and secure solution had to be established. gkv informatik – serving, among others, AOK Nordost, AOK NordWest, and AOK Rheinland/Hamburg – selected Devoteam as its experienced SAP Gold Partner.

At the heart of the solution lay a comprehensive, three-stage approach:

• Discover & Prepare: Analysis of as-is processes, definition of target objectives, and detailed project planning
• Explore & Realize: System configuration, data migration, and test management
• Deploy & Run: Go-live and intensive training for all user groups

Devoteam delivered the required technical expertise and acted as a full-service partner across all project phases – from strategy and implementation through to operations. Consolidation and cleansing of the data foundation, an expanded and precise authorization concept, and targeted optimizations in FI/CO, MM, and CATS formed the bedrock of a high-performing SAP S/4HANA environment.

“The professional project management and exceptional flexibility of the entire project team truly impressed me,” says Nico Steckelberg, Manager Internal IT at gkv informatik. “Now we can finally take the next steps: leveraging the full power of S/4HANA and Fiori to enhance our processes and user experience. This will save us both time and costs going forward.”

The results speak for themselves: on-time and on-budget delivery, real-time analytics for greater efficiency, and an improved user experience enabled by intelligent authorization concepts.
