The challenge
The client’s IT landscape was complex, involving multiple SAP and legacy software systems supporting business operations across various regions worldwide. While they had implemented SAP ECC 6.0 in some European plants, they sought to roll out SAP to all their global plants using the same template. In Europe, they found a partner in YASH Technologies to help simplify, customize, and centralize their IT infrastructure, leading to streamlined operations and increased efficiency.

As an SAP partner with extensive experience in Europe, Asia and North America, working with businesses across sectors in these regions, YASH Technologies was the ideal choice for the client. YASH ensured a successful implementation of SAP across the client’s global plants.
