SAIL modernized its IT infrastructure with HPE GreenLake to support a seamless transition to SAP S/4HANA and future-proof its steel production operations.
The new hybrid cloud environment accelerated backups, improved reporting times, and enhanced scalability across critical business functions.
SAIL’s successful migration laid the foundation for consolidating all business units onto a unified platform, enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making.
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has grown its steel production capacity and is supporting India’s infrastructure development and major industries. By implementing a hybrid cloud platform at its Bokaro plant, the company has modernized its core systems and paved the way for migration to SAP S/4HANA®. This is helping SAIL meet its target to more than double crude steel production and has positioned the company for long-term growth while supporting India’s economic development.
