Stepping Up the Cloud Game: How Ashapura Boosted ROI by 40% with Datamatics Cloud Migration

The Challenge: Legacy Infrastructure Hurdles

For decades, Ashapura Group, a global leader in industrial minerals and specialty chemicals, had been driving business growth with an expansive operational footprint. However, as the company expanded across multiple geographies, its legacy IT infrastructure struggled to keep pace with the increasing complexity of business processes.

Ashapura had in-house experts to manage SAP functionally and technically, which was used by thousands of users across India. However, there was a lack of infrastructure as the data was on-premise and had to be moved to the cloud. The on-premise systems that once seemed robust were now roadblocks to efficiency. They led to fragmented data management, performance bottlenecks, and high operational costs.

Additionally, Ashapura was dissatisfied with the support services and could not utilize the infrastructure efficiently. This resulted in delays for them to start their projects. The lack of a centralized and scalable system made real-time decision-making cumbersome. Moreover, escalating maintenance expenses and system downtimes were hampering productivity, directly impacting revenue streams. Ashapura realized that their current IT infrastructure was not just an inconvenience—it was a barrier to their growth ambitions. The leadership team knew that embracing a cloud-first approach was imperative to achieving scalability, agility, and cost efficiency.
