Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), the infrastructure division of the Aboitiz Group, has launched a major digital transformation project in partnership with delaware Philippines, implementing a suite of Economic Estate SAP (EE SAP) systems.
The systems, which went live from May 31 to June 4, 2024, represent the most comprehensive and complex system deployment in the company’s history, marking a significant milestone in AIC’s efforts to boost operational efficiency and innovation.
The implementation included four projects running in parallel, featuring solutions such as Economic Estate ERP, Real Estate Leasing Operations (RE-FX), and Real Estate Development Lifecycle Management (RE-DLM). The project also incorporated SAP Ariba for business commerce automation and a Core Asset Management System to improve AIC’s infrastructure management capabilities.
The new systems are designed to enhance a range of AIC’s operations, including real estate portfolio management, sales, contract management, land development, procurement, and supplier lifecycle management.
These innovations are expected to streamline processes, drive cost efficiency, and ensure the company’s long-term sustainability and agility.
Raymund Ramos, AIC’s vice president and head of IT & Digital, hailed the project as a vital step in the company’s evolution.
“We are thrilled to see our vision for digital transformation coming to life with the successful go-live of our EE SAP systems. This achievement marks a significant step forward in our journey to enhance operational efficiency, data integrity, and overall business agility,” Ramos said.
Over 60 professionals from AIC, supported by delaware Philippines and SAP, were involved in the project, with delaware acting as the ERP integration partner.
Rosette Carrao, partner and delivery head of delaware Philippines, praised the collaborative effort as a testament to what can be achieved when teams from different disciplines come together with a common goal.
“The successful go-live of these EE SAP systems will not only streamline AIC’s operations but also set a new benchmark for digital transformation in the infrastructure and real estate sector,” Carrao said.
As AIC turns its focus to the second phase of the RE-DLM project, the company is expected to continue setting new standards in the infrastructure and real estate industries.
According to Simone Pigason, senior vice president for customer success at delaware Philippines, “These systems will better serve AIC’s clients and stakeholders, propelling the company to even greater heights.”
