Integration Partner for a Global Companies undertaking
enterprise-wide It Transformations

OPPORTUNITIES

High costs and sub-optimal performance of outdated legacy systems was slowing down business growth.

Modernization initiatives were crawling and failing to keep pace with fast-evolving technologies.

At-Risk Technologies needed to be prioritized to ensure timely resolution of production issues.

Process inefficiencies were adversely impacting business performance and leading to supply chain issues, cost overruns, unplanned purchasing, delayed distribution and lack of controls.

INTERVENTIONS

Platform Rationalization was undertaken to identify and
drastically eliminate customization and redundancies.

Multi-Specialist Approach was applied across all phases of Project Management ā€“ from Consultative Discussions to Solutioning and providing Hypercare Support.

Consolidative solutions were implemented to integrate and upgrade applications for an easy-to-maintain environment.

Intensive Tech Familiarisation and User Training Sessions were conducted to drive support and alignment. Detailed user manuals were also created to help with sustained alignment.

A Complex Legacy System Assessment Framework was implemented to identify barriers and risk vulnerabilities. Automated Assessments were additional deployed for more accurate and faster evaluation of the underlying systems.

Standardizations were brought in by adding capabilities to S4HANA like SAP Ariba, EWM, Fiori, ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc. Technical & Functional SAP Upgradation Strategies were designed to successfully implement SAP ERP/ECC 6.0 upgrades.

OUTCOMES

Greater Efficiencies

Optimized Performance

Significant reduction in critical production issues

Improved Cost Savings

Modernized the
Platform ā€“ Created
the Segway for
Growth

Took Complete Accountability for handling Large-Scale & Complex
M&A Integrations of 3 Distinct Acquisitions valued at 5.7 Billion USD

OPPORTUNITIES

Inorganic Acquisition-led Route required agile, multi-level integrations with different systems, processes, people, and technologies.

Manufacturing and Distribution needed to be streamlined and built to ensure products flow through acquiring companyā€™s supply chain management system.

Pre and Post Acquisition Transition Planning required a complex Exploratory Intervention to identify potential choke points and establish critical controls.

INTERVENTIONS

Backed by the long-standing experience of accurately scoping several M&A integrations, CloudLabs team was able to successfully and quickly aggregate and examine Business Requirements for defining the scope of functional and non-functional needs.

Defined Process and Workflow Templates were utilized to implement standard changes and automate repeatable tasks.

Created a Unified Process to cohesively streamline disparate processes and systems across multiple distribution nodes and manufacturing sites.

Specialists at CloudLabs conducted several Sensing Workshops to evaluate upstream and downstream impact of proposed M&A transition.

Enabled Product Serialization and Standardized Product Labelling for improved product traceability.

OUTCOMES

Quicker Integrations

Improved Synergies

Optimal Run-Rate

Rise in Cash Flows

FASTER REVENUE
REALIZATION

CloudLabs uses Proven Methodologies and Templatized Approach to
help companies penetrate Emerging Growth Markets - Mexico, Israel,
Japan, Russia, Argentina, India, etc.

OPPORTUNITIES

Stagnation in Economic Growth in Developed Markets required a shift in growth strategy. Organizations were looking to actively tap into Emerging Growth Markets to scale up.

Different Geos. Different Rules. Each location had distinct Regulatory, Financial, Process, People and Language requirements that need to be complied with.

Custom Solutions require higher investment ā€“ Time, Cost, Effort.

INTERVENTIONS

Created a Unified Process to cohesively streamline disparate processes and systems across multiple distribution nodes and manufacturing sites.

Custom Templates suited to varied business scenarios and needs ā€“ product serialization, banking integrations, invoicing, taxation, customer order to cash flows etc. were deployed for faster and effective execution.

Enhancement Capabilities with key SAP upgrades were implemented.

Advanced Product Traceability and Controls Implemented using unique Product Serialization Codes.

OUTCOMES

Faster Time to Scale

Lower Incremental Cost

Capitalize Growing
