Business Challenges

With the acquisition of bakery activities for Unilever in Europe, CSM grew five times its original size overnight. There was a need to disentangle the business critical systems from its former parent company and establish a new common enterprise-wide platform.

Solutions

Help CSM  design, build and operate their own IT applications and infrastructure, and provide both global and local support for their businesses:

• Design and build a set of business processes
• A pan-European SAP infrastructure
• Migration of all applications and data from Unilever

Benefits

• The conversion was completed within the required timeframe, and now Atos Origin will continue to manage the full lifecycle of CSM's IT systems, continously seeking to improve the value of IT to the CSM businesses.
