Implema reaches the final in ERP Project of the Year 2023/2024
What’s new at Implema – Implema and our client StepLock were one of three finalists for the “ERP Project of the Year 2023/2024” award for the project where we jointly implemented S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition in two countries (Sweden and Norway) in a record time of 12 weeks (!). The award is presented by HerbertNathan & Co, Scandinavia’s leading independent advisor in ERP systems among other areas, and the winner was announced at the ERP Summit 2024 in Stockholm on May 21.
One of the jury members expressed that this year there were three extremely good projects in the final. The competition was therefore fierce, and we are truly proud of our finalist position.
Here you can read about the project.
The year’s first Meets took place in Malmö on May 16
Implema Meets are our local events around the country. We gather customers, partners, and other Implema friends for an afternoon of news, knowledge, inspiration, and an opportunity to exchange experiences, followed by an after-work event with food and drinks. Once again, it was a very successful event judging by the evaluation and the atmosphere in the venue, with good conversations, curious and informed questions, and some laughter.
The customer case from Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies sparked particular interest. Paulius Pakalniskis, Global Head of ERP & Enterprise Services, and Venkata Suresh Bandaru, Global Lead SAP Technology, Security & Compliance, generously shared the SAP journey we have made together. They emphasized TIME as crucial. They constantly challenge themselves and us, all with the aim of increasing the pace of their expansion. But there was also an informative session on AI and business benefits, about our new service Quick Closings, and on how to best get the business more involved in the development of the ERP system, which was held by our CEO Jörgen Aronsson together with Ann Karblom.

Webinar together with Microsoft about Copilot
On April 16, we held a live webinar titled “Microsoft Dynamics 365 Copilot – how to benefit from next-generation AI in your ERP system”. During the webinar, Microsoft’s Peter Rhodin participated as a guest speaker. In an engaging conversation with Implema’s Pernilla Öhlén, he went through what Copilot is, how to get started with generative AI – and most importantly, where the biggest business gains are.

Webinar together with Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies
On May 24, we held a live webinar together with our customer, the life science company Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies. They talked about their cloud migration to RISE with SAP Cloud Private Edition. An important step to scale up and future-proof themselves. They discussed, among other things, why they decided to move parts of the ERP system to the cloud, how they did it, what they needed to consider, and what results they’ve achieved. Did you miss it?

Implema at SAPSA IMPULS
It was incredibly fun to meet so many SAP users, both existing customers and others, at SAPSA IMPULS in Gothenburg at the end of April! It was especially great that our two seminars were so well-attended; both our customer case where WirelessCar’s CFO Carl-Fredrik Rindebro commendably shared the company’s journey to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, and that our colleagues Jesper and Marcus had the opportunity to talk about AI in practice and about one of Implema’s self-developed AI products, KLAS.
Richard Nagel visits Implema’s SAP kickoff
Implema’s annual SAP conference had a “special guest” in Richard Nagel, SAP S/4HANA expert/Blackbelt, who flew in from the Netherlands. Richard, who is a truly big name in SAP circles, held both an inspirational session focusing on SAP Cloud and a Master Class with more in-depth knowledge and insights on the same topic – all with the aim of being able to offer our SAP customers real value.
