JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, September 23, 2021 -/African Media Agency/- In the midst of a pandemic, there’s no time to waste in ensuring hospitals run optimally. For leading private hospital group Lenmed, the acquisition of a new hospital sparked a rapid and highly-effective process of onboarding the new facility to its core SAP system that was recognised as the best-in-class at the recent SAP Quality Awards for Customer Success.
The Lenmed Group was established in 1984 with a focus on providing exceptional private care to the communities in which its hospitals operate. It employs more than 1850 people across its twelve hospitals, and is operational in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique, with its headquarters in Roodepoort west of Johannesburg.
“It was essential that there was no disruption to any of our business processes during the implementation,” says Strydom. “We used our standard Lenmed SAP template and relied on best practices to ensure there were no customisations and scope creep. This resulted in faster implementation time and reduced costs.”
“By following the same implementation methodology and governance framework as previous Lenmed SAP implementations, we were able to meet the tight twelve-week project deadline while also achieving a project cost saving of nearly 40%,” says Strydom.
