Ahlstrom, a Leading Global Provider of Fiber Solutions Accelerated their journey to Becoming a Data-First Enterprise with Hexaware

The benefits of data-driven strategies are limitless. At Hexaware, we channel data to seize opportunities in fast-paced journeys, crucially required by businesses catering to global sustainability.

Adapting to the complexities of ecosystems built for innovation, Ahlstrom, a global leader in fiber-based specialty materials, partnered with Hexaware to simplify data consolidation, spanning 13 countries, 38 plants, and 5800+ people. We elevated Ahlstrom’s data experience by migrating data from on-premises to Azure cloud. We created a roadmap to accommodate its high dependence on sophisticated manufacturing and production technologies and its time-bound operating procedures catering to niche, growing sustainability markets. Predominantly, in the case of companies redefining new-age markets, vast amounts of data hinder three major business scalability factors. Here, Hexaware stepped in to solve – 1) Siloed data which disallowed a single source of truth, 2) High licensing costs from a bundle of different data tools, and 3) A lack of enterprise-wide analytics, across its operations and geographies.

Hear in detail from Tuukka Ukonnen, Head of Data & Analytics Solutions, how Hexaware’s timely data migration from on-premises to Azure Cloud paves the way for Ahlstrom to accent its vision, with quicker data decisions.
