Steel Košice achieved a significant international success by receiving the SAP Quality Awards – Grand Winner in the Business Transformation: Enterprise Solutions category. This prestigious recognition is granted by SAP to the best implementation projects that demonstrate outstanding quality, business value, and the successful delivery of complex transformation.
Part of this success is also a video created in cooperation with SAP, presenting the full story of the ERP transformation at U. S. Steel Košice – from the original vision, through implementation, to receiving this prestigious award.
The award confirms that the ERP transformation project at U. S. Steel Košice ranked among the highest-rated projects in the Central and Eastern European region and delivered real value to the company’s overall operations.
A Successful ERP Transformation as a Foundation for the Future
The ERP Transformation project represented a major step in the modernization of key business processes. Its objective was to create a stable, integrated, and future-oriented ERP system that would support efficient company management, increase process transparency, and prepare the business for further development in an ever-changing business environment.
When evaluating projects, SAP primarily focuses on:
- a clearly defined transformation vision,
- quality project management and adherence to best practices,
- involvement of company leadership,
- measurable business value.
The ERP transformation project at U. S. Steel Košice fulfilled these criteria at the highest level, which ultimately led to receiving the Grand Winner title – the highest award in its category.
Partnership, People, and Change
The success of the project is the result of close cooperation between the teams of U. S. Steel Košice, SAP, and the implementation partner Ernst & Young. At the same time, it confirms that large transformation projects are not only about technology, but above all about people, their expertise, commitment, and ability to manage change across the entire organization.
It was precisely the combination of strong leadership support, high-quality project management, and a clear focus on business benefits that distinguished this project from the other nominated solutions.
