Coforge partnered with a leading global ink manufacturer to modernize its enterprise systems and align regional operations with a broader global transformation strategy. While the organization was defining a global SAP S/4HANA template, its India and Bangladesh subsidiaries were operating on mature SAP ECC environments. Coforge conducted a detailed assessment and enabled a tailored transformation approach by implementing RISE with SAP S/4HANA. The initiative established a unified, scalable, and future-ready digital core, harmonizing processes while preserving regional business strengths and enabling global alignment.

The Challenge
The organization was undergoing a global SAP S/4HANA transformation aimed at standardizing processes across regions. However, its India and Bangladesh operations were already running on SAP ECC with well-established processes, creating complexity in aligning with the global template. The client needed to determine the most effective approach, whether to adopt the global template or pursue a region-specific implementation, while minimizing disruption and ensuring business continuity. Additionally, the transformation required integration across multiple functional areas and external systems, along with rationalization of existing customizations to reduce complexity and improve efficiency.
