Case Study: Asahi Beverages boosts growth and cuts costs with IBM managed SAP services

Putting new fizz in a growing business by making the most of operational outsourcing

Asahi Beverages, a major beverage company in Australia and New Zealand, faced a challenge in streamlining and optimizing its operations following a series of business acquisitions. The company sought to reduce IT maintenance costs, ensure the constant availability of its critical SAP systems, and free up internal resources to focus on business growth and customer service excellence instead of system administration.

The company outsourced the support and maintenance of its business-critical SAP applications to IBM Global Business Services. This solution provided 24/7 application management, which reduced operational costs, cut down on IT incidents, and accelerated issue resolution times. This partnership with IBM enabled Asahi Beverages to enhance customer-facing solutions, ensure business continuity, and refocus internal teams on innovation and expansion.
