Techwave Establishes Cutting-Edge IT Infrastructure and Oversees SAP S/4 HANA Implementation
Summary
Techwave significantly contributed to the digital transformation of a major chemical plant in the Netherlands, recently divested from its parent global chemical manufacturer. In 2022, Techwave spearheaded the implementation of SAP S/4 HANA and established the entire IT infrastructure for this newly independent entity.
