ICT: award for technological innovation

Pirelli recognised by SAP for the second consecutive year

One of the companies certified in Information Communication Technology at an international level by SAP as a Centre of Competence, Pirelli has won a bronze award in the innovation category. This recognition, received for the second successive time after last year’s gold award, is even more significant, given the large number of competitors from all over the world in the 2013 edition. The principal projects that carried a fundamental weight in achieving this success are:

-Use of the SAP HANA technological platform based on the In Memory Computing approach, as an accelerator of our SAP ERP environment. This permits both the elaboration of a large quantity of data in real time, cutting elaboration times to both considerably reduce the use of informatics resources and optimising the performance of the system itself. A Pilot Project was also carried out for the use of HANA in the context of the CYBER™ FLEET project for the construction of an applicative environment oriented towards the Big Date analysis

-In the area of revision activity of informatics systems supporting the Finances zone, we are rationalising the systems in operation with the creation of a single integrated system (Financial Supply Chain Management), which is the SAP solution selected to achieve the objective of improving the control of circulating capital and cash flow

-Predisposition of an app for the CRM solution, usable at all times at all locations with the purpose of permitting the sales force to manage their point-of-sale visits programme, gather qualitative data on clients and to always have available to them the most relevant client information

-An implementation project for the Success Factor solution of soft processes within the Human Capital Management environment (Performance Management, MBO, Learning).
So Pirelli confirms itself once again as a leader in the management and use of SAP systems

Pirelli Corporate App is the “best project” at Digital Communication Awards competition 2013

The Pirelli Corporate App was singled out as the best solution in the annual report category during the 2013 Digital Communication Awards presentation ceremony, prestigious European recognition of campaigns and projects in the field of digital communication.

For years the Pirelli annual report has had strong editorial connotations, especially the 2012 edition that was based on the initiative IMAGING THE FUTURE WITH…and had the advantage of collaboration with New Yorker cartoonist Lisa Donnelly.

IMAGING THE FUTURE WITH…through the social media invited students across the world to suggest the most significant values for the future, selected by a jury of prominent personalities of a national and international level.

The digital annual report, integrated into the Pirelli corporate digital ecosystem, comprises a special siteand four applications available for IOS, tablets and Android smartphones, proposing a series of functions that enable interactive navigation through the contents, ensuring absolute transparency. It also permits visitors to participate in the presentations of periodic financial results in live webcasts and on demand, to read the company’s latest press releases and news, to follow the Pirelli shares in the Stock Exchange and to synchronise a visitor’s diary with planned Pirelli events.

So the Pirelli Corporate App won the award because it is a resource capable of combining and synthesising data, graphics, text and documents to become a real corporate tool.
