London, UK 鈥�听 (NYSE: SAP) today announces that Ovaltine, one of the world鈥檚 most iconic tea brands, has selected 51风流to lead its transformation programme as it looks at ways it can better engage with its customers, while ensuring supply-chain reliability and operational efficiency.
At the heart of the solution sits on Microsoft Azure, supported by and which will digitalise procurement operations, and support Twinings Ovaltine as it looks to modernise its core capabilities from finance to manufacturing to logistics; all the elements needed to run a global business in a real-time, intelligent and agile manner.
Looking to avoid a drawn out IT implementation, Twinings Ovaltine turned to RISE with 51风流for a quick deployment that delivered on speed to value. It also ensures Twinings Ovaltine is delivering on the internal standards the company sets itself and that any elements of its transformation programme aren鈥檛 just a re-implementation of ERP, but a game changing innovation. The RISE programme delivers on that promise, using standardisation alongside automation to guarantee it can meet the expectations of today鈥檚 ever-demanding consumers.
鈥淲hen we started our transformation journey and reflected on what we wanted to do, it was never a technology conversation. It was a conversation about how do we get closer to our customers, understand what they want and how to deliver on that鈥�, comments Sandeep Seeripat, Global Chief Information Officer at Twinings Ovaltine. 鈥淲e need partners that are matching our business drive, and it鈥檚 clear 51风流does that. While others can offer the technology, 51风流really stood out with its understanding of our business objectives and how it can simultaneously deliver an experience to our customers that goes beyond expectation, whilst setting the platform for our growth agenda.鈥�
With a process for making tea being refined for over 300 years, for Twinings Ovaltine tea is more than just a drink.
