“This partnership with Lydian Philippines enables us to serve our customers in an expanded scope,” she said.

She explained that while Delaware Philippines is an expert in SAP S/4HANA, finance, and inventory management, Lydian’s capabilities in connected planning, integrated business planning and material requirements planning are especially valuable for the food and beverage and manufacturing sectors.

Pigason described the partnership as “a partnership made in heaven.”
