A global wind power solutions provider wanted to streamline processes and accelerate time to market, post a merger. Further, to support its expanding business and future development, the company wanted to re-architect its entire IT landscape.
Infosys designed end-to-end processes, initiated hybrid cloud transformation, rolled out software-defined network and set up intelligent service desks and digital workplace services. In addition, we implemented a greenfield SAP S/4HANA solution on Microsoft Azure.
Key Challenges
After a merger, dual processes and IT landscapes contributed to increased operational complexity. The business faced several challenges, including:
- Disparate IT infrastructure comprising 12 legacy ERP applications and around 1,300 peripheral applications across 22 manufacturing units
- Lack of standardization in processes and systems

The Solution
A globally harmonized ERP system
Infosys rationalized the IT landscape by using single instance infrastructure. Our team simplified data structures and created a single source of truth architecture.
We orchestrated the transition in parallel programs and managed inter-dependencies across functions by ensuring strong integration. Some of the programs involved indirect procurement on Ariba, CRM on Salesforce and HR transformation on Workday.
Infosys implemented SAP S4/HANA across 10 countries using the Industrialized Rollout Methodology with zero downtime. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the roll-out, technical cutover and business cutover at seven countries were managed remotely. Its digital transformation enabled the organization to become agile, with enhanced digital capabilities and competitive positioning.
Multiplier effect of blending ERP with SaaS solution on the cloud
- The new, cloud-powered ERP is now live in 10 countries
- Ensured adoption by 2,300+ users with zero technical downtime
- 1,300 applications condensed to 200 fundamental applications
