Tech Mahindra is set to play a pivotal role in KWC's business transformation journey, enhancing operational efficiency through automated IT operations across business applications and global IT infrastructure.

Using SAP Public Cloud solutions, KWC has successfully delivered a fully cloud-based landscape for its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Product Data Management (PDM), Human Resources (HR), and marketing applications. This cloud infrastructure is now operational for all entities, spanning China, the Middle East, and Europe.
