Case Study: Andhra Paper Limited achieves SAP relocation, cost savings and faster month-end close with Kyndryl

Relocating mission-critical SAP systems to separate from parent and prepare for growth

Andhra Paper Limited, one of India’s largest integrated paper and pulp manufacturers, needed to relocate its mission‑critical SAP ERP systems some 9,000 miles as it separated from its US parent—without extended downtime, local staffing or physical access to the parent company’s data center. The company turned to Kyndryl to find a smooth, cost‑efficient way to transfer more than 10 TB of SAP data and prepare for future growth.

Kyndryl implemented Enterprise Application Managed Services for SAP Solutions on IBM Cloud and then helped Andhra Paper move to SAP S/4HANA, delivering the transition with minimal business impact and 24/7 managed support. The project avoided hiring five FTEs, cut month‑end closing time by up to 10%, and gave instant visibility into the investment portfolio and other finance and GRC capabilities—measurable improvements that enabled faster, data‑driven decisions.
