Operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a large-scale copper and cobalt mining company was dealing with manual operations and outmoded technology. The customer, who has used Tally for more than 20 years, wanted a completely integrated, cloud-based ERP system to streamline its operations and fit with government-led digitisation and environmental objectives.
Business Challenges:
- Inefficient manual processes across departments
- Limited infrastructure for on-premises solutions at one subsidiary
- No real-time visibility into operational performance
- Need for stakeholder education on cloud ERP models
Client Type: Multinational Mining & Metals Corporation
Technologies Used: SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori, SAP HANA, SAP Concur
RiseAscend Suggestions:
RiseAscend recommended Rise with SAP, offering a simplified, bundled ERP solution tailored to meet the client’s requirements for operational visibility and system integration. Given the client’s lack of infrastructure in one subsidiary, we guided them toward a cloud-first architecture to eliminate CAPEX constraints. Our strategy also emphasized onboarding all business units into a single SAP ecosystem—ensuring data consistency, global access, and a long-term path to digitized, audit-ready operations.
Solution Provided:
RiseAscend migrated the client’s ECC 3-tier landscape to SAP S/4HANA using SUM DMO (Database Migration Option), with:
- Migrate the client’s operations from Tally to SAP on the cloud
- Deliver centralized control and visibility for all subsidiaries
- Eliminate CAPEX by shifting to an OPEX-based model
- Implement SAP Fiori for modern, user-friendly interfaces
- Integrate finance, payroll, production, and quality workflows
Outcome:
- End-to-end automation of core processes across mining operations
- Unified SAP ecosystem accessible across all entities
- Cost optimization through OPEX financial model
- Real-time visibility into production and financial performance
