Achieving a seamless carve-out for a US-based global chemical manufacturing giant

Key challenges

Our customer, a USD 2 Bn+ enterprise, wanted to rightsize its backed operations and perform a SAP systems carve-out seamlessly for its sold off (plant) part of the business.

Concerns about a seamless transition and minimal change management complexities arose as our client aimed to carve out the divested portion with low downtime and disruption and existing business processes.

The SAP landscape carve-out introduced complexities such as company code-splitting, Data Integration challenges, large-scale Data Migration, and internal data restructurings. These issues resulted in compromised data integrity, higher operational costs, extended system downtime, and heightened Data Security risks.
