multi-year ERP implementation of SAP S/4HANA. With this initiative,
UCT will replace its existing legacy ERP system with a robust,

global race to gain competitive advantage and optimize their supply

benefits from these technologies, one needs to partner with
experienced teams with domain insights, global expertise in
consulting, and deep knowledge of technology platforms like cloud.
Bristlecone was able to bring these together for UCT and help
select SAP S/4HANA as a business platform. We proved the
capabilities with our IP framework spanning diagnostic, design and
development of specific solutions to enable the new business
system. We are looking forward to building a long-term strategic
partnership with UCT."

Marketing for SAP S/4HANA at SAP, looks forward to the digital
