Impact #1	The implementation of ARIS has brought significant operational benefits to Alicorp. The company has successfully integrated and standardized its core processes, which have been developed over more than 60 years. The system has enabled Alicorp to achieve all the key milestones in its 2025 roadmap so far. The integration with the conglomerate-wide SAP S/4HANA upgrade was immediate, and a process mining “procure to pay” use case was delivered in just 10 weeks. The transition of 500 users to the new system has created a single source of truth for internal stakeholders and suppliers. Alicorp expects a 20% increase in operational efficiency, reduced incidents, avoided expensive change requests, and centralized control.
