Reducing delivery risk and optimizing business resources have become challenging during testing times.
However, with streamlined cloud-based technologies, global enterprises have paved the way for efficiency, value and most importantly, collaboration.
Transforming India’s Retail Landscape – Trent Redefines Business Resilience
A growing force in India’s retail landscape, Trent Limited owns and manages a large number of fast-developing retail chains like Westside, Star Bazaar and Landmark.
Furthermore, with revenue of €600 million and a workforce of over 10,000 employees, Trent aims to add business value through collaborations, mitigate delivery risks and transition into one of India’s fastest-growing retail chains.

To transform its business operations and align objectives with a common goal ahead of the next end-of-season sales period, Trent realized the potential of cloud-based IT solutions and started seeking help from the best.
