One Standard, One Dataset: Building a Fit-for-Purpose SAP EAM Across 21 Ports
Overcoming fragmented legacy systems to achieve operational excellence requires a structured deployment strategy, strict governance, and an uncompromised commitment to data quality. In this strategic customer case study session, AG Consulting joins forces with Associated British Ports (ABP) to share how the organisation is consolidating four separate third-party maintenance platforms into a single, scalable SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) ecosystem across 21 UK ports.
The session explores how multi-site organisations can execute complex, multi-phase rollouts across geographically distributed assets while maintaining operational continuity. Participants will gain first-hand insight into how ABP and AG Consulting enforce Clean Core governance—keeping baseline configurations standardised to minimise technical debt—while treating rigorous data cleansing and engineering readiness as the non-negotiable benchmark for every go-live phase.
Attendees will discover how eliminating operational silos and unifying master data streamlines daily maintenance execution across complex port and maritime infrastructure. Discover how establishing a standardised, high-quality asset dataset today creates immediate operational efficiency while laying the essential foundation for leveraging advanced SAP AI capabilities and autonomous enterprise operations tomorrow.
What participants will learn:
- How Associated British Ports is transitioning a complex multi-site operation from four disjointed third-party platforms into a unified SAP EAM environment across 21 ports
- Structured, multi-phase rollout methodologies tailored to manage wide geographical distribution and diverse operational demands
- How enforcing Clean Core governance and standardised baseline configurations reduces technical debt and ongoing operational support costs
- Why treating data readiness, cleansing, and engineering as a strict go-live gate is essential for deployment success
- How building a clean, uniform asset master dataset today future-proofs the enterprise for advanced SAP AI and autonomous operations tomorrow
