The Problem

Cabot Microelectronics was looking to build a new SAP landscape to ensure that its SAP applications are modernized, scalable, secure, and aligned with the constantly-evolving business strategies. This involved upgrading its SAP applications and building a scalable platform to enable cost optimization. Building a new SAP landscape enabled the identification and resolution of gaps in business processes for better management of the applications.
