Henkel KGaA, Düsseldorf

Henkel and VMS have been cooperating on a series of projects since 2003.

In the course of this work, performance and organizational forms of the IT systems (in-house operations, outsourcing, applications management with various providers) in all European locations were investigated and assessed in a VMS Report.

Henkel was given decision-making aids for assessing centralization and de-centralization respectively, in particular with special reference to the various cost levels in different countries.

As part of a VMS Monitor, VMS supported with the technical optimization of all Henkel ERP systems around the world. VMS also carried out a similar evaluation for BW.

Client Reactions

"The reason why we decided to use VMS was its convincing concept of a value-oriented benchmarking. Besides its excellent knowledge in the SAP environment, we were convinced by the analytical, scientific and highly efficient method. The pragmatic approach and the very reasonable cost-effectiveness with success-oriented pricing were what finally decided us."
