TecQubes SAP S/4HANA implementation helped a global consumer goods company to optimize operating costs and capital investments

Client

A global consumer goods company with operations in Europe and Asia

Problem statement

The packaged foods subsidiary of client, which is also the largest subsidiary, accounts for almost 60% of the sales. The subsidiary was struggling with cumbersome IT infrastructure that built around a legacy SAP ERP system. It lacked centralized control and could not use the latest cloud-based technologies that offered the required competitive edge. Further, the rise of the adoption of SAP on public cloud by its competitors was resulting in market erosion. The client wanted to shift from its existing Capex model to an Opex cost model to free up valuable resources that were being utilized for managing on premise infrastructure.

As part of a global IT modernization initiative, the client wanted to transition its legacy ERP systems to SAP S/4HANA across multiple business units and their respective legacy systems.

Solution

The SAP S/4HANA implementation was built on collective requirement of all its business units. The solution was developed to create a unified platform for the client’s branded consumer goods deployed on a modernized hyperscale platform.

 

TecQubes evaluated several technology solutions and proposed to host and manage the entire SAP landscape on Microsoft Azure. The project revolved around design and implementation of SAP S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure as a cloud platform that leverages        a digital core. By enabling this transformation, TecQubes simplified SAP technical operations and increased utilization and efficiency.
