ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, has collaborated with IBM Consulting to reinvent mission-critical processes in order to boost agility, and efficiency with digital transformation.
To achieve this objective, AM/NS India tapped into IBM Consulting’s cloud-powered business transformation capabilities and deep expertise in the metals & mining industry prevalent in India. With this, AM/NS India intends to achieve its overarching objective of reinventing itself into a data-driven enterprise.
Amit Harlalka, Chief Financial Officer, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), informs that in today’s rapidly changing environment, the steel industry is now realising the efficacy of digital solutions for future success. AM/NS India has been the pioneer in regard to technology adoption since inception. By collaborating with IBM Consulting for SAP S/4 HANA, it is looking to build a Digital Core Platform for AM/NS India. This initiative will provide the requisite financial transparency, and operational agility to help them chart the next crucial phase of growth while setting precedence in the industry.
Kamal Singhani, Country Managing Partner, IBM Consulting India/South Asia, is delighted to work with AM/NS India on such a pioneering large-scale transformation initiative. Going forward, it intends to support the company as a trusted digital transformation partner jointly driving efficiencies and innovations as they expand in India and beyond.
As part of the collaboration, IBM Consulting utilised its IBM Rapid Move for SAP S/4HANA approach to migrate the existing data and application of AM/NS India, Dubai & Indonesia based on older SAP platforms into a single SAP S/4HANA instance. This would enable AM/NS India to gain an advantage of the newer functionalities of the modern platform and enable faster value realisation. Further, IBM Consulting has revamped the enterprise structure and existing solutions through a change management approach that resolved several business-critical pain points.
