How did personalized attention and
standard tools enable a stable and
speedy brownfield migration of ERP?
For more than a century, illwerke vkw AG has provided “energy for generations” in the
state of Vorarlberg, Austria. Whether supplying heating systems that keep people cosy
at home or powering cable cars that lift them to the highest peaks, illwerke vkw maintains
a constant focus on sustainability. Strongly connected to the mountainous landscape
surrounding it, the company generates all its electricity from renewable energy sources.
illwerke vkw prides itself on boldly exploring new paths and setting standards in the
energy world. To do this efficiently, it needed to replace its legacy ERP application
with an intuitive, future-fit solution. And to enable a successful and timely transfer of
its existing data and processes, it sought out support from solution experts.
