Problem as stated

The retailer was migrating its ERP system to SAP S/4HANA Retail as part of a wider technology change, with several initiatives running in parallel under an Agile model. It needed a simple, structured language shared by business and technical teams, and a much faster testing process to meet its delivery dates. [ev-1646]

Reading notes for a buyer

This case speaks to the scenario “OMS (order management system: software that routes, splits and tracks customer orders across stores, warehouses and carriers.) or WMS (warehouse management system: software that runs receiving, storage, picking and shipping inside a distribution center.) replacement” and feeds dimension D4 (Test automation evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to Noesis:

Which SAP Retail business processes were automated in the end, and were the regression savings stated as goals ever measured after the work? [ev-1646]
