have autonomy of decision making. The group consists of 100+ companies. The

earlier IT landscape consisted of ERP solutions deployed at individual sector

level. Harmony, it was proposed to have common IT infrastructure and platforms

process across the group. It also defined the way forward for various processes

to meet the needs of individual business units.

Finance-Accounts and Procurement were harmonized across the Group.

wherein all different instances of SAP into a single instance (ECC 6.0)
implemented on a single HARMONY instance.
