Client overview

Our client from the entertainment segment, Conglomerates, has a power-packed thirty-three channels with a reach of more than 95 million households in India.

The channels can be viewed throughout the world, including the U.S.A., Canada, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Background

Two SAP systems, never introduced to each other

The client had already implemented both SAP SuccessFactors and SAP HCM Payroll. The problem was not that either was missing — it was that the two were never synchronized, and so no longer met the current requirements of the organization. More than 1,100 employees across seven-plus locations were affected.
