Company Profile:

Problem Statement:

Although the enterprise had implemented SAP ECC for the enterprise and most of the business units, it could not deliver new business needs in a timely and cost efficient manner.

The major immediate issues were a lack of:

• Digital capability to engage with customers in a standard and effective manner
• Infrastructure resources to expand employee collaboration
• Integrating architecture to weave together the various enterprise applications
