Sun Chemical, a member of the DIC Group, is the world’s leading manufacturer of printing inks, pigments, coatings, adhesives, and materials for industrial and consumer applications. With operations in more than 60 countries, the company is undertaking a major initiative to modernize and harmonize its SAP landscape to support future growth, operational efficiency, and improved transparency across its global business.

As part of the program, Sun Chemical is consolidating and transforming its existing SAP systems into a unified SAP S/4HANA environment while, in parallel, transitioning to RISE with SAP. The Kyano platform is being used to enable in-depth data analysis, selective data transformation, and high-quality data migration, supporting a structured and controlled transition while minimizing business disruption.

The project follows a selective data transformation approach, allowing Sun Chemical to retain relevant historical data while optimizing structures and processes for the target SAP S/4HANA system. Kyano’s automation capabilities support the analysis, restructuring, and migration of complex SAP data landscapes at scale. Accenture is supporting the program as an implementation partner.

“Sun Chemical’s SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP transformation is a complex, global initiative that requires a high degree of precision, transparency, and flexibility in handling data,” says Camilla Dahlen, President & Managing Director of North America at SNP. “With Kyano, we provide a powerful platform that enables selective, business-driven data transformation while reducing risk and downtime. We are pleased to support Sun Chemical on this journey together with our partner Accenture.”

“Partnering with SNP and leveraging the Kyano platform gives us the support we need for a complex, global transformation,” adds Chimdi Ifeakanwa, Corporate Vice President & Chief Information Officer, Sun Chemical. “It didn’t take much to decide to work with SNP – their expertise, methodology, and software give us the assurance we need to manage this project efficiently and securely.”

By modernizing its SAP environment and adopting RISE with SAP, Sun Chemical aims to establish a scalable, cloud-ready digital core that supports standardized processes, high data quality, and faster access to business insights across regions and business units.
