Location

Linz (AUT)

The Kepler University Clinic (KUK) was created in 2015 from the merger of three renowned hospitals plus the establishment of a medical department in Linz. To link the reporting systems of the individual hospitals and create a unified system landscape, a new and optimized reporting system was introduced.

Goals

The implementation of a comprehensive IT migration project to support the merging of the hospitals and enable the introduction of a unified system landscape.

Introduction of a unified and technically optimized system landscape for all participating hospitals
Enabling of a forward-looking reporting system based on coordinated and documented figures from the areas of accounting, medicine, HR and care
Preparation of the existing business warehouse (BW) system

Implementation

SAP-Specifics

Migration of the existing two-terabyte system to a BWonHANA system
Technical migration of the BW data model based on new technologies and the migrated data in the SAP ERP/HIS system
Implementation of the reporting system with SAP Lumira and the newly defined KUK figures based on the new system architecture

Key Benefits des KUK Reportings

KPI definitions accessible from the cockpit
Access via single sign-on from the KUK intranet
Role- and permission-based content in the cockpit
Cockpit can be extended by the core team based on defined templates
Management of roles and permissions via dual control (IT and specialized department)
Commenting function (Lumira functionality) in the cockpit
Strategy linking from the cockpit

Results

Design of a new KUK reporting system

A group of subject matter experts worked together with scc to develop the new KUK reporting concept. They relied on a new approach based on information design by Hichert, supported by certified IBCS advisor Bernhard Puscha. The focus lay on preparing the business management content in a way that could be understood in all parts of the company. All reports are prepared and displayed according to the KUK conventions, which are derived from the IBCS rules. This made the reports much more readable and easier to understand.

A system focused on users

The value and benefit of every IT-based solution depends heavily on the users. For this reason, training measures began already in parallel with the technical migration, preparing the specialized departments to make use of the new possibilities of the system.

Despite an unexpected increase in complexity, the project was successfully completed within the established parameters.

“The BI project was originally conceived as a purely technical migration. In the course of more detailed discussions between the various areas of finance, medicine and care, however, it became clear that the project scope had to be expanded considerably. This increased the complexity tremendously and posed new technical and procedural questions. The external assistance from scc was of great help, especially when making critical decisions and identifying sustainable solutions.”
