Accelerate smart transformation to SAP S/4 HANA with Tata Consultancy Services PreCast, now for Google Cloud

The journey of any enterprise includes the transformation of processes related to presales, sales, procurement, service, production, quality, maintenance, warehousing, and finance operations, adhering to the principles of optimization and faster implementation. The goal is to create a uniform user experience, branching and connecting each enterprise function with minimal transformation effort. With a traditional approach, achieving this is not easy. Some of the other hurdles organizations face are:

• Lack of localization know-how, especially with respects to  legal and fiscal compliance 

• Low transparency across business functions

• Legacy SAP business processes

• Geo-specific, fragmented and heavily customized legacy SAP ERP systems

• A complex integration landscape across in-house and cloud technologies

• Inability to scale with business growth
