Riedel's HCM Journey to Success
Riedel's Excel-based HR processes had become a barrier to efficiency and growth. Manual workflows, fragmented data, and lack of global transparency hindered their ability to act strategically on HR topics.
What they needed was more than a system: They needed a transformation of their HRIT landscape to support both operational excellence and long-term strategic growth.

Overview
Riedel Communications, a global leader in live production and communications solutions, partnered with Pentos to modernize their HR operations. Facing outdated Excel-driven processes, Riedel needed a scalable, future-proof solution.
With Pentos’ LaunchNOW! Approach - a fast, best-practice-based way to implement SAP SuccessFactors - they transformed their HR landscape efficiently, flexibly, and with a strong focus on continuous improvement.
Together, we turned challenges into a true success story.
