Beijing United Rongda Engineering Materials Co. Ltd. (Rongda) specializes in the
development and production of high-tech engineering materials such as fire-retardant
materials and high-performance concrete. Following rapid growth, the company struggled
with inefficient management of materials, recipe confidentiality, and field service, sales,
and procurement. In addition, multicompany, multibusiness operations had become
difficult to manage using its traditional ERP system. Management wanted to move to an
intelligent infrastructure for ERP in the cloud – one that could enable unified management
across companies and support continued rapid growth. But to help ensure the success
of its cloud transformation and realize expected benefits, they needed the right ERP
solution and the right experts to guide them through a successful deployment and rollout.
