IBM bags deal from ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India tech transformation
Global technology company IBM announced that ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), a joint venture between steelmakers ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, has collaborated with IBM Consulting to reinvent mission-critical processes in order to boost agility and efficiency with digital transformation.
AM/NS India is an integrated flat steel manufacturer with over 600 steel grades and serves multiple industries and key markets through its India, Indonesia, and Dubai business entities. With capacity expansion plans in full swing, the company recognised that its core business processes will require the necessary scalability and flexibility to support growth.
To achieve this objective, AM/NS India tapped into IBM Consulting’s cloud-powered business transformation capabilities and deep expertise in the metals and mining industry prevalent in India. With this, AM/NS India intends to achieve its overarching objective of reinventing itself into a data-driven enterprise.
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 and 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.
