Umicore is a group specialized in material technology. Its activities are focused on new materials, precious metals, sink products and catalysts. Umicore has been using SAP for a while but it wanted to have its new business units and acquisitions on SAP. It also decided to upgrade its older version to more recent versions of SAP and to return as much as possible to standard SAP functionality. The SAP projects started for OASIS Consultants within the new business unit "Auto Catalysts", firstly in the USA and Canada, later on in China. For this unit it was necessary to implement: FI, CO, SD, MM, WM, PP and Metal Accounting. The first site was Canada where the foundations were made for what is today known as "metal accounting". At the same time a roll-out was planned for a new plant in China based on the same production principles as in Canada. Consequently OASIS Consultants has done the setup of the cobalt trading unit in Hong Kong, China. Cobalt in Olen, Belgium already had SAP in place, but was working on an old version, highly customized and partly made to measure. In China OASIS could start with standard SAP from scratch. It took care off the SAP modules FI, CO, SD, MM, and PP.
Other smaller projects were also performed for Umicore. OASIS has proven that standard SAP functionality can cover almost every business requirement. OASIS’s pragmatic approach proved to be successful in all of its implementations.

Optimization was part of the project but in 2006 Oasis Consultants was asked to analyze their current system and possible upgrades. It was decided to do an implementation from scratch and return back to standard SAP functionalities in 2007.
