First Rail pursues 'clean core' SAP S/4HANA implementation

First Rail, a UK-based rail company, is undergoing a significant digital transformation by implementing SAP S/4HANA with a focus on maintaining a "clean core" approach. This strategy involves minimizing customizations to the core ERP system to ensure easier upgrades, lower maintenance costs, and better integration with future innovations. The project, led by First Rail's IT director, aims to replace multiple legacy systems with a single, streamlined ERP solution. The clean core initiative is supported by SAP's latest tools and methodologies, which help in extending functionalities through side-by-side extensions rather than deep customizations. This approach not only promises to reduce the total cost of ownership but also positions First Rail to leverage cloud capabilities and real-time data analytics, enhancing operational efficiency and customer service in the competitive rail industry.
