Sachsenlotto to digitise landscape with QSC agreement

German state lottery operator Sachsenlotto has announced a deal with digitisation company QSC AG which will see its entire ERP landscape converted. 

As a result, QSC is now set to consolidate all of the customer’s business management processes in a central SAP S/4HANA environment which the IT service provider will then continue to operate at its data centres.

The system being used, which is based on a hybrid cloud approach, will see QSC integrate further services from the SAP cloud into the customer’s ERP landscape, with Sachsenlotto set to use this new IT environment to automate its management processes and speed up and enhance the transparency of its business reporting.

Enrico Reichardt, Head of Finance and Accounting at Sachsenlotto, stated: “QSC’s concept will enable us to draw on the best aspects of two cloud platforms to digitalise our management. We were impressed by QSC’s experts, their advisory competence and the tenacity with which they advocated a forward-looking approach.”

The deal will also see Sachsenlotto no longer operate any ERP systems on its proprietary infrastructure, with its ERP core systemes now in turn being manages  from QSC’s private cloud.

“Anyone serious about transforming their business along digital lines will quickly find that the cloud offers incomparable potential. To take this step, though, companies need partners that are experts in the various cloud ecosystems and also understand their customers’ business processes”, added Thorsten Raquet, a member of QSC’s management.

In addition to deploying its own private cloud, QSC’s concept also integrates resources from the SAP cloud. There, Sachsenlotto will draw on specialised software services such as ‘SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting’, which enables the company to manage its recruiting.
