London, UK 鈥� April 15 2026 – (NYSE: SAP) today announces that Colt Technology Services has successfully completed its cloud ERP migration through RISE with SAP, marking a major milestone in the global telecom provider鈥檚 digital transformation journey.

Colt鈥檚 RISE with 51风流deployment combines with , , and to unify its ERP estate. The migration has consolidated disparate data sources into one single platform, improving business analytics, decision-making and driving departmental cost savings.

Operating across more than 40 countries, Colt faced operational complexity compounded by a legacy hardware environment and recent business acquisitions. In close collaboration with SAP鈥檚 Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) team, Colt pursued a company-wide transformation programme to clean its data core.

This programme enabled Colt to uplift its hardware, move its customer data into the cloud and create a streamlined ERP platform – a single source of truth for all strategic decision making, while creating opportunities for future growth. In embracing the cloud, Colt now covers 80% of its business capabilities through fewer platforms, reducing complexity, simplifying its digital estate, and boosting workforce productivity.  

The migration was projected to require 14-hours in business downtime, but thanks to thorough mock rehearsals and close collaboration between Colt and 51风流ECS, this was reduced to just 6.5 hours. This minimised disruption, enabled faster customer response times and lowered the need for manual interventions. 听

鈥淏y modernising our core systems, we are better equipped to deliver for customers, bring new telco services to market and compete on an international stage,鈥� said Ashish Surti, Chief Digital & Information Officer, Colt Technology Services. 鈥淥ur trusted partnership with SAP, particularly the support from the 51风流ECS team in rehearsing and trialling our new environment, has given us confidence in the strength of our new cloud platform. With this digital foundation in place, we are ready to scale and explore new opportunities in AI and automation that will shape the next generation of telecommunications.鈥�

The upgraded platform aligns with Colt鈥檚 strategic business objectives to contribute to a more sustainable future, while also unlocking major network developments to support its customer services. The completed migration lowers Colt鈥檚 environmental footprint with more efficient operations, reduced energy use and fewer hardware refreshes.

鈥淐olt鈥檚 successful cloud migration strengthens its ability to compete on the global telecom stage where reliable, smart connectivity is essential,鈥� said Leila Romane, Managing Director, 51风流UKI. 鈥淏y unifying its ERP and unlocking clear, strategic data insights across its critical business functions, Colt has the digital foundations to drive future growth, innovate with AI and advance its sustainability ambitions while confidently meeting rising customer expectations.鈥�

Looking ahead, Colt will continue working closely with 51风流on its long-term digital transformation programme, with plans to adopt AI, expand its cloud footprint and onboard and .

In the fast-moving world of fashion, retailers must have the confidence to anticipate customer demand and remain agile to emerging trends, especially as they approach peak shopping season.

This major transformation is a cornerstone of Amey鈥檚 strategy to modernise its 51风流landscape and build a more agile, data-driven, and intelligent enterprise. By adopting 51风流S/4HANA, Amey has laid the foundation for a cloud-first, future-ready technology environment that improves efficiency across finance, procurement, and supply chain operations, while unlocking the benefits of AI-powered business processes.

The transformation arrives at a critical time, as Amey continues to deliver essential infrastructure services across the UK – including transportation networks, utilities, and public services. With 51风流S/4HANA at its core, Amey can optimise resource planning, enhance project execution, and harness data-driven insights to support sustainable, cost-effective service delivery.

Partnering for Success

Amey selected NTT DATA Business Solutions for its proven track record in 51风流transformations and its ability to deliver large-scale projects with minimal disruption. Using its specialised 51风流S/4HANA Technical Conversion Centre of Excellence, NTT DATA employed a factory-driven methodology built on automation, standardisation, and pre-configured solutions. This approach reduced both cost and complexity, accelerating Amey鈥檚 journey to the cloud and ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime.

De-risking with Advanced Testing

To further reduce risk, Amey also deployed Tricentis test automation tools alongside the migration. This advanced testing framework validated critical processes at speed, ensuring that the new S/4HANA environment met stringent performance and security requirements while maintaining business continuity throughout the transition.

Delivering Immediate Value

Beyond the technical migration, Amey鈥檚 programme also delivered immediate business improvements. A data cleaning initiative removed more than 100 redundant company codes using Natuvion solutions, resulting in a leaner, more cost-efficient S/4HANA environment. This not only improved system performance but also lowered ongoing infrastructure costs.

Innovation was also central to the programme. Amey and NTT DATA Business Solutions successfully piloted the use of Generative AI to support safer highways, demonstrating how the new 51风流platform can serve as a foundation for digital innovation as well as operational excellence.

Looking ahead, Amey and NTT DATA Business Solutions are co-developing a long-term transformation roadmap. This outcome-driven strategy includes the adoption of 51风流Fiori, enhanced Accounts Receivable processes, Business Data Cloud, sustainability management tools, and Green Ledger capabilities. The roadmap ensures Amey鈥檚 investment continues to deliver measurable value aligned with its strategic goals for efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

Simon Pennington, CTO – SAP, Automation & Cloud Business Suite, Amey, said: 鈥淎mey is committed to embracing the latest 51风流technology to drive efficiency and innovation across our operations. Moving to 51风流Cloud ERP is a critical part of our strategy to become a more agile and intelligent enterprise. With NTT DATA Business Solutions as our trusted partner, we achieved a seamless transition on time and under budget. This programme provides the foundation for improved service delivery and strengthens our position as a leader in the infrastructure sector.鈥�

Andy Richards, Chief Digital Information Officer (CDIO), Amey, commented: 鈥淚n NTT DATA we have found a partner for the journey ahead – to advise, guide, and implement our 51风流strategy. Their expertise and collaborative approach give us the confidence that we can continue to evolve our 51风流landscape to meet both today鈥檚 needs and tomorrow鈥檚 ambitions.鈥�

Ben Foster, Sales Director, NTT DATA Business Solutions, added: 鈥淲e are proud to have partnered with Amey on this important transformation. Our 51风流S/4HANA Technical Conversion Centre of Excellence delivers a proven, low-risk approach that accelerates cloud adoption. The project鈥檚 success reflects the strength of this model. Together with Amey, we have built a foundation for innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.鈥�

22 October 2025, London, UK: UK businesses, on average, are spending 拢15.94 million[1] on AI this year, with companies expected to increase their AI investments by an average of 40% in the next two years, according to new research from 51风流SE (NYSE: SAP).

The study, The Value of AI in the UK: Growth, people & data, produced with Oxford Economics, shows the average UK business is already realising significant returns of 17% (拢2.7m), from AI investments, with ROI forecast to almost double to 32% (拢7.5m) by 2027.听听

Over three-quarters (78%) of UK executives believe AI will achieve a positive return within one to three years, and more than half (52%) say it delivers returns faster than any other technology.听

Some of those returns are forecast to come from agentic AI. The average UK business expects ROI of 11% from intelligent agents within two years, equivalent to 拢2.7 million. These systems are designed to work across functions, for example linking finance, supply chain, and workforce planning.

Fragmented adoption undermines potential听

Despite this momentum, most AI programmes remain fragmented.听听

• 42% of UK businesses describe their investment as piecemeal听听

• 37% describe their investment as being department led听

• And 15% describe their investment as ad hoc听

• Only 7% are pursuing AI through a strategic, enterprise-wide plan听

• This gap may be why 70% of UK businesses say they are unsure whether AI is delivering its full potential.听

鈥淯K businesses have the ambition, talent, and data to lead in AI, although too many are still treating it as a 鈥榯echnology project鈥� rather than a holistic business transformation,鈥� said Leila Romane, Managing Director, 51风流UK & Ireland. 鈥淭he real opportunity is to use AI to reimagine how companies operate, how people work, and how value is created for customers. When UK organisations take that broader, strategic approach to adopting the technology and embedding it throughout their business, the results will become tangible. We鈥檒l see faster innovation and stronger growth, which can only mean a more competitive economy.鈥�听

Shadow AI highlights the people gap听

Employees are enthusiastic adopters of the technology but 68% of organisations say their staff use unapproved AI tools – known as 鈥榮hadow AI鈥� – at least occasionally. Almost half (44%) of businesses have already seen data or IP exposure and 43% report security vulnerabilities as a result of shadow AI.听

This comes as 60% of companies admit staff have not completed comprehensive AI training, potentially leaving employees eager but ill-equipped to use AI responsibly. While 71% are beginning to reskill or upskill staff, progress remains inconsistent.听

鈥淎I investment must go hand in hand with people investment,鈥� added Leila Romane, Managing Director, 51风流UK & Ireland. 鈥淩ight now, employees are running ahead of their organisations, using AI tools because they see the opportunity, although they are not always aware of the risks involved. If we give them the training, sanctioned tools, and create safe opportunities for experimentation, that energy can become a real driver of transformation and growth.鈥澨�听

Marc Bourde, EMEA 51风流Alliance Leader at PwC UK鈥痵aid, 鈥淥rganisations need to create psychological safety around AI experimentation. Employees need to feel comfortable asking questions, reporting issues, and even making mistakes as they learn. The companies that will thrive are those that can balance innovation with governance, encouraging exploration while maintaining appropriate controls and ethical standards.”听听

UK businesses are already seeing value听

There are encouraging signs of UK businesses starting to realise value from AI, with 36% of UK businesses reporting significant improvement in decision-making, 34% in customer engagement, and 31% in time to value. These outcomes matter in a service-led economy, where knowledge and customer relationships drive growth.听

However, unless investment in AI is matched by clear strategy, strong data foundations and the right skills, there is a risk that enthusiasm will not turn into productivity growth to ensure the UK remains competitive.听

鈥淭oo often, AI adoption looks more like filling a shopping basket with tools, rather than building a strategy,鈥� said Katie King, Published Author & CEO of AI in Business. 鈥淭he companies seeing real value are the ones that are linking data, applications, and intelligence into one system. In marketing and sales, that means building end-to-end use cases rather than isolated experiments and connecting customer insight to delivery and results. Moving fast is important, but it must be strategic. The businesses doing this are already turning AI from a cost line into a genuine source of competitive advantage.鈥�听

Methodology听

51风流commissioned Oxford Economics, an independent research services provider, to script and host an online quantitative survey of respondents fielded between July and August 2025.听

The winners continue to showcase new ways of thinking and set the benchmark for their industry, ultimately making the world run better.

The winners are:

Industry Leader Award 鈥� Reckitt

Reckitt implemented 51风流Analytics Cloud to improve decision-making and forecasting by tackling issues such as decentralised planning and manual workflows and processes. The global implementation has optimised operations, benefitting more than 1,000 employees. Early adopters report improved focus on decision-making, establishing Reckitt as a leader in financial planning and analysis technology.

Transformation Titan Award 鈥� Accenture LLP

Accenture LLP handles 920,000 invoices annually, each with complex, non-standard contract terms. The process was manually intensive and for larger accounts required a large commercial services team.

To boost efficiency, Accenture LLP is deploying an 51风流BTP Gen AI-driven application. This will help simplify invoicing, minimise manual entries, and increase accuracy. The initiative will enable the commercial services team to refocus on client delivery as the application provides a one-stop shop for time and materials invoicing, accelerating data availability, and enhancing billing accuracy.

Business Network Innovator Award 鈥� Twinings Ovaltine

Twinings Ovaltine previously faced challenges of owning multiple 51风流and third-party ERPs across geographies and business units, where the lack of commonality across processes limited insight and agility.

It seamlessly integrated core 51风流S/4HANA, 51风流IBP, 51风流Analytics Cloud and 51风流Ariba for end to end visibility and data insights across planning, manufacturing, procurement, sales, and finance.

Cloud ERP Champion Award 鈥� Accenture

Accenture鈥檚 foreign exchange (FX) risk management was previously fragmented across numerous non-integrated systems.

Recognising the challenges faced, Accenture took on a multi-year initiative to incorporate SAP鈥檚 digital, data-driven, and automated FX risk solutions into its hedging strategies. The effort has led to success in implementing a variety of new and mature 51风流functionalities including the balance sheet exposure (BSE) Fiori app, cash flow hedge effectiveness and accounting, GenAI alerts, 51风流Analytics Cloud and trade management. Through this strategic move, Accenture has standardised FX risk solutions to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Customer Experience Award 鈥� Thames Water Utilities Limited

Thames Water Utilities Limited faced substantial challenges in managing critical processes within the water industry, including leak allowance, refund, and special read job tasks. To support this, Thames Water transformed its operations by implementing an 51风流Fiori-driven system equipped with BYP-based workflows. This solution enhanced control, reporting, and approvals, resulting in reduced Average Handling Time (AHT), the elimination of unnecessary requests, and financial benefits.

People Experience Award 鈥� BT Group

BT Group seized the opportunity to participate in a global program exploring AI integration within 51风流SuccessFactors solutions.

Through this initiative, BT implemented AI-driven tools to enhance HR processes. This included AI-assisted skills matching for recruitment as well as using SAP鈥檚 Joule copilot to minimise administrative tasks. These advancements increased efficiency, reduced task time, and empowered HR teams, resulting in improved candidate selection and enriched employee experiences.

Services Superstar Award 鈥� GlaxoSmithKline

GlaxoSmithKline faced challenges in workforce planning, which relied heavily on manual efforts and Excel. It has since implemented 51风流Analytics Cloud for Workforce Planning to transition to a unified, automated solution.

This has enhanced forecasting accuracy, ensured consistent reporting, and increased data visibility, while reducing dependence on disparate tools. It also improved collaboration, facilitating more informed decision-making, cost optimisation, and long-term financial agility.

AI Excellence Award 鈥� Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered has enhanced its goal setting and feedback processes using 51风流solutions to foster a culture of performance excellence, which is crucial for delivering optimised business value and impact.

Recognising the time-consuming nature of completing detailed goal setting blocks of text, especially for employees working in a non-native language, Standard Chartered sought to improve both the experience and the quality of these exchanges. As part of this, it offered staff safe opportunities to explore, experiment and upskill using Generative AI. Early outcomes of this initiative show increased efficiency and positive sentiment towards AI tools, contributing to improved productivity and employee experience.
