Highlights

The various Asian Paints subsidiaries across the world used different systems. This led to different business processes and monitoring challenges. To ensure that its international business kept pace with the parent company, it was important that the subsidiary had uniformity of processes – enforced through an enterprise system.

The subsidiaries were at different stages of growth and maturity, largely midsized. They possessed a variety of existing systems, leading to high IT administrative costs and duplication of efforts in reporting. 

The company’s executives saw a critical need to standardize operations in the international markets and find a business solution that could cater to such mid-sized entities. Since the solution was to be deployed across several countries, the total cost of ownership and support were key considerations.
