Atos transforms Melitta North America's value chain with SAP S/4HANA on Google Cloud Platform

PARIS and IRVING, Texas, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, today announces a contract with Melitta North America, a premium coffee company, to transform its existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment by implementing SAP's S/4HANA. Atos will bring its experience on S/4HANA transformation with a focus on industry expertise and Google Cloud Platform. This will enable Melitta to streamline efficiencies and processes, integrate information, especially financial data, to foster growth, and to keep data safe and regulated with built-in protections.

To speed up the transition to SAP S/4HANA and ensure business continuity, Atos will leverage SAP's Activate methodology, a modular and agile framework based on best practices and guided configuration. The solution will be powered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to provide Melitta with all the flexibility and innovation they need. With SAP S/4HANA on GCP as their Digital Core, Melitta will get a real-time view on processes and organizational data, allowing for better forecasting and analysis. By eliminating information silos, Melitta will also reduce distribution issues for better customer satisfaction.
