Overview
A newly independent hi-tech services company, recently spun off from a larger technology services firm, faced urgent challenges in ensuring business continuity. The initial deployment of SAP was a quick, vanilla setup with minimal customization, leaving many processes manual and inefficient. The company required a robust multi-cloud integration platform to automate data transfers and streamline operations across various systems. Aevitas IT stepped in to deliver a comprehensive solution, transforming the company’s operations with advanced SAP integrations and automations.
