SAP consulting leader to offer technology support to the manufacturer’s construction chemicals business spin-off
Leading regional systems integrator and digital transformation champion, Seidor recently announced that it has joined forces with BASF to support the global chemicals producer in a sweeping corporate-restructuring project in their construction chemicals business unit.
Having decided to operate the division as a standalone entity, BASF needed to separate the unit’s technology systems to prepare it to run independently.
The project will extend to 22 countries ― across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and South America — and affect some 280 users. Given the tight timeline to complete the implementation, and the need for optimal efficiency, BASF’s stakeholders identified Seidor — and specifically its Dubai based entity, Seidor MENA — as an ideal partner, given its technology credentials and global reach.
“It was vital for us to move our small and medium sized operations within the construction chemicals division to a robust system that offers high flexibility,” said Jose Vizoso Capiali, regional IT Manager Middle East, West Asia, CIS, Africa, BASF.
While Seidor is a global company with local presence in many of the 22 countries involved in BASF’s deployment project, Seidor MENA will manage the entire implementation, from its Dubai offices.
Seidor MENA will also engage heavily with end users in the pilot countries to ensure successful implementations and boost users’ confidence in, and acceptance of, the new solution. Over the next three years, BASF will continue relying on Seidor MENA to enhance and support the ERP deployment, and explore options to engage further with the systems integrator in the procurement of other business applications and cloud services.
“Successful digital transformation is about much more than technology migration,” said Ignacio Ruiz de Eguilaz, Managing Director, Seidor MENA.
