The company, based in Regensburg, Germany, released the 21 SAP systems for productive operation, following a preparation phase of only three months. Approximately 1,400 users now have access to the new SAP ERP system run by arvato Systems. This incorporates all the necessary business processes, ranging from inventory management to transport logistics. A specialist application landscape developed in house by the forestry company has also been adopted.

The IT service provider will also be managing the SAP basis support and administration of all hardware/software components from its branch in Leipzig, Germany. The entire landscape will be run in two of the forest company's data centers in Munich, Germany.

Bayerische Staatsforsten was founded as a public-law institution in 2005. Its 2,700 employees are responsible for managing over 800,000 hectares, a third of the total forest area in the German state of Bavaria. The company annually harvests approximately 5,000,000 m of wood in this area.
