Infosys, a global leader in AI-first business consulting and technology services, announced a significant milestone in its partnership with Syngenta by successfully completing the global SAP S/4HANA transformation for the company's Crop Protection division. This implementation consolidates multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environments into a single, unified platform, streamlining Syngenta's operations across more than 80 countries and benefiting over 10,000 employees.
The transformation, dubbed the Crop Protection Core (CP Core), aims to enhance operational efficiency and establish a scalable foundation for future innovations within the agricultural technology sector. The project not only simplifies the technology landscape but also strengthens governance and promotes transparency across Syngenta's global operations, making it better equipped to support farmers worldwide.
Thanks to SAP S/4HANA, CP Core reduces significant adjustments by adhering to best practices, thereby transforming the way research, production, supply chain, finance, and sales operate within the organization. This unified digital core facilitates improved collaboration among teams, ultimately leading to better agility and responsiveness in meeting the needs of agriculture in various markets.
Feroz Sheikh, Chief Information and Digital Officer at Syngenta, emphasized the importance of this transformation: "CP Core provides our employees with a simpler and more reliable way to work. It empowers us to better support farmers in our markets while seamlessly integrating our business operations on a modern digital platform. Collaborating with Infosys has been vital in enabling this transformation, positioning our global business for further growth."
Jasmeet Singh, EVP and Global Head of Manufacturing at Infosys, also highlighted the importance of their long-standing collaboration with Syngenta: "Large-scale ERP transformations necessitate precision and industry insight. The successful implementation of CP Core reflects these very aspects, allowing us to support Syngenta’s business transformation for years to come."
In addition to building a solid operational framework, Infosys leveraged its innovative AI offerings, including the AI-driven Topaz suite and the cloud capabilities provided by Infosys Cobalt. This combination has modernized business processes, improved data quality, and established a strong enterprise data foundation, essential in today's digital landscape.
Furthermore, Syngenta has also incorporated artificial intelligence capabilities aimed at automating routine tasks and enhancing standardization, while ensuring that human judgment remains central to critical business decisions. Such initiatives underline the company's commitment to harnessing technology to bolster agricultural outputs and sustainability.
