Irfan A. Khan, CEO and President of Bristlecone, welcomes UCT's decision. "Manufacturers are in a global race to gain competitive advantage and optimize their supply chains by leveraging the latest digital technologies. To realize 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."
