From merger to mastery: how Matco fast-tracked growth with public cloud ERP solutions

Artikel

Are you curious about how Matco, a leading Belgian chemical company, navigated the complexities of a merger and acquisition using SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud? In this video, John Blydenstein, Managing Director of Matco, and Dominique Moons from KPMG Advisory, share their experience and insights on the decision-making process and the challenges they encountered.

After acquiring a subsidiary from a UK-listed conglomerate, Matco faced the task of transitioning from a legacy system to an independent ERP solution.

We knew we didn’t have a choice,” says John, “SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud ticked all the boxes, especially in terms of localization and speed of execution.” With operations spread across four countries, including Egypt, localization was key to ensuring smooth operations.

But it wasn’t without its hurdles. “We had to adopt the system as it was—90% of what we wanted, but not everything,” John acknowledges, referring to the plain vanilla implementation approach they chose to keep the process swift. Dominique adds, “The speed of execution was crucial, and public cloud allowed us to do that while supporting our long-term growth strategy.

This video is a valuable watch for any IT or business professional interested in understanding how public cloud ERP solutions can drive efficiency and support business growth, especially in the context of mergers and acquisitions.
