Company Profile
To protect the client's privacy, this case withholds the name and identifying details; only industry and solution are shared.
This is a Japanese multinational office-equipment group, founded in the 1930s and headquartered in Japan, with a sales network across 30+ countries spanning printers, MFPs, engineering machines and consumables. As it expanded abroad, it needed a partner versed in large-format printer sales and leasing with strong cross-border SAP experience in APAC; after careful selection, it formed a long-term strategic alliance with MTC. The group runs SAP ECC, while MTC delivers SAP implementation and advisory across Southeast Asia and China, with APAC printer trading operations on SAP Business One to support the group's growth in the region.
