Case Study: LafargeHolcim Brazil achieves a successful SAP divestiture and merger with EPI-USE Labs

EPI-USE Labs Landscape Transformation Services help cement LafargeHolcim merger

LafargeHolcim Brazil faced a formidable challenge in completing a mandatory divestment to satisfy regulatory requirements for its historic multi-billion dollar merger. The complexity was heightened by aggressive timelines, evolving scope changes mid-project, and the critical need for strict data isolation. To meet this challenge, they engaged their existing technology partner, EPI-USE Labs, to utilize its Landscape Transformation Services and Data Sync Manager™ product.

EPI-USE Labs implemented a solution that successfully carved out the divested business units into an isolated environment over a rapid three-month project. Despite significant last-minute scope changes, the EPI-USE Labs team adapted quickly, leveraging round-the-clock resources to meet the fixed deadline. This allowed the LafargeHolcim merger to proceed on schedule, with the entire process achieved with zero production downtime by utilizing the client's disaster recovery infrastructure.
