Digitalization of industrial safety and labor protection is becoming increasingly relevant for enterprises in Kazakhstan. And these issues can be solved with the help of advanced IT solutions that have already successfully proven themselves all over the world. This was discussed by IBA Group experts during a speech at the SAP forum.

The annual SAP Discovery Day 2024 event took place in Almaty on May 22. The conference brought together more than 300 executives and specialists from leading companies in Kazakhstan and neighboring countries. During the event, the speakers talked about the use of SAP solutions in various sectors of the economy, and also discussed opportunities that contribute to efficiency, sustainability and business scaling.

IBA Group (resident of the technopark since 2021) traditionally acted as an innovative partner of the event and told the conference participants about building safe enterprises of the future using the innovative SAP EHSM (Environmental, Health & Safety Management) solution and SAP WCM (Work Clearance Management). It is one of the key areas for the company's activities, which responsibly approaches employee safety and environmental issues. The solution allows complex automation of industrial safety processes related to the environment, occupational safety and health. It is fully integrated with the current SAP system in the enterprise: it exchanges and receives data with other modules. 

"The SAP EHSM solution has already been successfully used by corporations around the world. We see that Kazakhstan is also beginning to pay more and more attention to industrial safety and environmental issues. The implementation of this solution will minimize the risks of industrial incidents and reduce the number of employee injuries," commented Olga Karpenko, Head of SAP projects at IBA Group and speaker of the conference.   

"SAP's comprehensive security solution includes the Work Clearance Management function, which helps to effectively manage the processes of admission to dangerous work, ensuring the security of employees and compliance with all necessary procedures. This is especially important for large industrial enterprises, where strict control over the performance of work is critically important," added Irina Sergeeva, an expert on SAP EAM solutions at IBA Group.  

"The topic of security is one of the key ones when we talk about large industrial enterprises. Our business needs to adopt the best foreign practices that allow us to digitize processes in the field of industrial safety. We are ready to help companies from Kazakhstan with the implementation of such solutions," added Zukhra Livitskaya, Manager of SAP projects in Kazakhstan.   

It should be noted that last year IBA Group spoke about the experience of implementing RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, a Private edition for a major player in the Georgian telecommunications market. In 2022, the speakers talked about the implementation of SAP IBP for a large pharmaceutical company from Europe.
