SAP process orchestration for manufacturers

Keep SAP clean, orchestrate work around it

For SAP-heavy manufacturers, modernization is not only about the ERP core. The real value lies in governing the work that spans SAP, MES, QMS, SCADA, PLM, EAM/CMMS, supplier portals, documents, approvals, and business users.

Reduce process debt across plants, suppliers, quality, maintenance, engineering with process orchestration enabled by Nagarro.

Why now

SAP modernization is time-bound. Business value still needs orchestration.

SAP Business Suite 7 core applications have mainstream maintenance until end-2027, followed by optional extended maintenance until end-2030. For SAP-heavy manufacturers, that timeline is creating urgency around S/4HANA, clean core, custom code, integration, AI readiness, and operating-model modernization.

70%+ ERP value risk

BOAT market shift 

Business orchestration and automation technologies reinforce the shift from isolated automation to governed execution.
