In Thailand, the global consulting and technology giant is helping chemical producer Indorama Ventures with the design, development and deployment of SAP S/4HANA. The project is part of Indorama Ventures’ overarching digital transformation agenda, which aims at helping the company streamline its processes across its presence in 35 countries, digitise operations and ease the integration of new/add-on platforms.
“We needed one ERP system across all our platforms, so we chose SAP S/4HANA to bring together different processes across all the parts of our business,” explained Deepak Parikh, the chief strategy officer of Indorama Ventures
Abhishek Kahol, a managing director at Accenture and who has been involved in dozen of such large scale ERP implementations, added: “This move to a single company-wide ERP solution is a huge step forward. It will position Indorama Ventures to scale globally, create cost efficiencies and lay the foundation for future digital capabilities.”
The new SAP S/4HANA system, hosted on the Microsoft Azure, will enable Indorama Ventures to “embrace industry best practices,” said Kahol. Meanwhile, the roll-out of SAP Customer Experience, SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Concur solutions will help improve the management of customer experiences, its human resources capabilities, and time and expense management for its 25,000 employees worldwide.
