A leading Indian industrial paint company enables communication exchange between its SAP and non-SAP systems using Amazon S3 and CPI with Maventic
About Client
The client is a subsidiary of an Osaka-based chemical company and one of the largest industrial paint companies in India. It develops and supplies decorative, automotive and industrial coatings.

Benefits
By integrating its SAP and third-party systems using CPI, the client can now:
