This advanced digital infrastructure will not only streamline our operations but more importantly, it will empower our teams with real-time insights, enabling faster, more informed decisions that drive productivity and sustain our competitive edge in the market.' Saquib Ahmad, Managing Director for SAP Bahrain, added, 'This complex deployment serves as a powerful example of remarkable outcomes achievable through a strong partnership between a forward-thinking customer and a dedicated delivery team. Completed within a ninemonth completion time frame, we have ensured the seamless transformation, paving the way for sustained digital innovation across the region's industrial landscape.'
The project involved a highly complex, brownfield conversion from SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 8 to SAP S/4HANA 2022.
