Case Study: Lafarge achieves rapid global partner on‑boarding and reduced maintenance costs with Software AG's webMethods

Lafarge standardizes partner-centric processes and reduces on-boarding time and maintenance

Lafarge, a global leader in building materials operating in 64 countries, faced a recurring operational challenge: getting IT integrations in place quickly so new construction sites and local suppliers could receive cement and other materials on time. Traditional point-to-point integration took weeks, slowed expansion, increased maintenance costs, and complicated onboarding of partners and document exchanges.

By adopting Software AG’s webMethods (Integration Server and Trading Networks) and a templated, reusable interface approach, Lafarge standardized communications and document formats across the enterprise. The result: new sites integrated in days, partners onboarded in hours, faster global expansion, lower development and maintenance costs, and improved customer service through repeatable, secure integration processes.
