Business Needs

integration tool for this green field implementation to replace a 20-year- old legacy systems with
single instance of SAP S/4 HANA Solution
The integration scope included Supply
Chain, Pricing, Asset Management, Procurement, Order Management and integration with around 40 complex
external systems.
