Agribusiness | United States SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reducing system customization to improve efficiency Western Sugar Cooperative is an American agribusiness that specializes in the cultivation of sugar beets. As it continued to grow, it struggled with an on-premise, extremely customized ERP infrastructure that was difficult to update, leaving it vulnerable to system collapse. To remedy this, it decided to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. “Our system was highly customized and had no controls in place. After 30 years of customizing, the software itself was hardly upgradable. We went with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to leverage the built-in support for best practices with little disruption to the business.”
