Joining Forces
One for all? Once, perhaps. But times have changed. Real innovation is no longer driven by individual companies working under their own steam. Today, collaboration is the name of the game – and pooling ideas is the key to achieving new successes.
The Customer President
As president of Adobe Japan, Garrett Ilg experienced firsthand how SAP brought his business greater margins. Convinced, he took over the top spot at SAP Japan in September 2008, a day after the Lehman Brothers collapse. One year later and undeterred by prolonged crises, Ilg is determined to do for customers what SAP has done for his previous employer.

FAST-Chemicals Ensures Growth at ADPO
By: Stefan Nicola
Belgian chemicals logistics provider ADPO has always offered a host of services. The problem back in the 1990s: “They were all running on different, disconnected systems,” says Peter Meeus, the company’s supply chain manager. ADPO therefore decided to streamline its supply chain with SAP and Delaware’s FAST-Chemicals solution.
Compliance and an increasingly globalized market only increased the pressure on ADPO to make its business processes as efficient and transparent as possible. Because the Antwerp-based company had to satisfy the special needs of the chemical industry, the task of streamlining the supply chain fell to Belgium-based Delaware Consulting. The SAP partner implemented processes, tools and features that today are included in the so-called FAST-Chemicals solution. It is an SAP-Business All-in-One-solution for the chemical industry combining preconfigured SAP ERP and SAP Best Practices with Delaware best practices for the chemical industry.

“The SAP Business All-in-One solution FAST-Chemicals enables ADPO to streamline the supply chain, both internally and with our customers. Thanks to Delaware’s no-nonsense approach, every step in this integration trail is performed in a fast and smooth way,” says Peter Meeus.
