NTT DATA Business Solutions' (FH) Managed Services team helped Ourofino stabilize the SAP environment after Go Live and build a path to increase the maturity of our support operation. Focusing on critical business processes and addressing the root cause of issues, we have been able to reduce support costs gradually and reduce the frequency of critical incidents.

Ourofino adopts NTT DATA Business Solutions Brazil (FH) AMS suite
Always investing in innovation and cutting-edge technology, Ourofino implemented the SAP ECC system, due to the need of seeking solutions and support that would meet its strategic demands. Then, the company tax area was restructured with the implementation of Guepardo, a tax solution developed by NTT DATA Business Solutions. To ensure a high-performance operation from the start, Ourofino contracted AMS suite, a support service for SAP Applications.
AMS suite is a service platform for SAP application management that helps improve the performance of your operation. Through a robust framework of standards for end-to-end support operations, AMS suite contributes to the continuous improvement of our customers’ processes and applications. Contracting this service enabled full management of Ourofino by NTT DATA Business Solutions. This was the first SAP ERP implementation case in Sybase in Brazil.
