Sabesp adopts Innowera with Nalbatech

Sabesp, one of the largest basic sanitation companies in the world, hired NalbaTech with the objective of promoting improvements in data management in SAP ERP. For the project, the Innowera platform was implemented, designed to map, update and integrate data from different sources.

Sabesp’s objective was to have a comprehensive solution to make improvements and new features in data management in ERP without the need for major investments in development and customizations in the SAP system.

Preparing for eSocial was the first stage of the project and involved cleaning up the data of more than 17 thousand company employees.

In January 2018, the second stage began, involving immobilization.

Based on the ability of the Innowera tool to sanitize and manage data with management systems and the proximity of the eSocial effective date, Sabesp opted to start by treating and preparing employees’ social security and labor information.

“We put the platform to use very quickly and found that 41% of employees had some inconsistency in their registration, which could have a major impact on the material to be sent to eSocial, which could generate considerable delays and fines,” says Carvalheiro.

The Innowera tool also allowed the construction of macros in MS-Excel to facilitate the correction and adaptation of employee data for reloading in SAP.

“Activities that would take several months were carried out in a few days. As a result, we had a significant reduction in costs and time ”, points out Carvalheiro.

Sanitation and data comparison, pointing out errors for correction according to the rules and layout of e-Social (which has about 200 fields for each employee), as well as for any other legal and business obligations, are among the biggest benefits , according to him.

Sabesp serves 367 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, benefiting more than 27.7 million people with water supply and 21.4 million people with sewage collection.

Earlier this month, the company announced another project developed with support from Nalbatech.

Sabesb contracted the company’s managed services to detect vulnerabilities and security flaws in software applications during its own or third party application development. The initiative focuses on the use of the BugScout platform.

eSocial is the first project and will guarantee the quality of the information to be delivered within the legal deadline. Data for 41% of employees with record inconsistencies were corrected in record time

Sabesp, one of the largest basic sanitation companies in the world, serving 367 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, benefiting more than 27.7 million people with water supply and 21.4 million people with sewage collection, contracted NalbaTech to promote improvements in data management in the SAP management system, from the implementation of the Innowera platform, designed for mapping, updating and integrating data from different sources and with a strong specialization in SAP.

The choice of the Innowera tool meets a need by Sabesp, which sought a comprehensive solution to make improvements and new features in data management in the management system, without the need for major investments in ERP development and customization. Nalbatech was selected for the project because it has a team of specialists in the Innowera solution and with a high capacity to understand the company’s needs related to the extraction, sanitation, preparation and import of data from various sources into SAP.

The second stage will involve the immobilization of assets and will start in January 2018, as informed by Ricardo Carvalheiro, manager of the Information Systems Department (CIS) at Sabesp.

Data sanitation for eSocial

Based on the high capacity of the Innowera tool to sanitize and manage data with management systems and the proximity of the eSocial entry into force date, Sabesp chose to start by treating and preparing employees’ social security and labor information. “We put the platform to use very quickly and found that 41% of employees had some inconsistency in their registration, which could have a major impact on the material to be sent to eSocial, which could generate considerable delays and fines,” says Carvalheiro.

According to him, “carried out in a few weeks, this work for eSocial was a great success, both because of the fast time and the results. The Innowera tool also allowed the construction of macros in MS-Excel to facilitate the correction and adequacy of employee data for reloading in SAP, greatly reducing the working time of Human Resources teams. Activities that would take several months were carried out in a few days. As a result, we had a significant reduction in costs and time ”, points out Carvalheiro.

In addition, with the expertise and experience of the NalbaTech team, it was possible to solve complex problems, by mapping needs and delivering a project very quickly ”, comments Sabesp’s CIS manager.

SAP Security Rules

Another factor that weighed in the choice of the Innowera solution, according to Carvalheiro, was the platform’s specialization in the SAP environment, its ability to meet the security rules of the management system, such as consistencies and access profiles, for example. “This guarantees the safe execution of the processes and reduces the need to replicate these rules outside the ERP. The solution eliminated the manipulation and maintenance of data carried out manually by users, which led to error-prone processes and exhaustive tasks, in addition to affecting the security and quality of the data ”.

Another great benefit obtained: better decision making

Osvaldo Antonio Pazianotto, CIO of Sabesp, comments that, as desired, the Innowera solution proved to be quite adherent to Sabesp’s business processes, delivering many benefits and, mainly, avoiding customizations and developments in the SAP ERP platform, which are complex and have high cost.

“Decision making is also benefited by the possibility of approving forms in real time directly on cell phones and e-mail, and reports obtained via extraction and connection between tables mapped within SAP make it easier to meet demand in record time. The benefits with Innowera and support from NalbaTech, are enormous. It is now possible to carry out more careful and analytical analysis of business information ”, he adds.
