Rollouts to LATAM
As one of the pillars of cbs’ foundation – the localization of global templates for our global customers – we have specialized ourselves and conducted many projects in LATAM, having a dedicated team with deep knowledge of the legal requirements and their fulfilment. Our goal is to empower our customers, helping them to understand, operate and be compliant with legal legislation, while running their global processes as in any other region.

Implementing SAP rollouts in LATAM presents unique challenges, including diverse legal requirements, cultural differences, and the need to integrate various local solutions with global SAP systems. Each country has distinct regulations and practices, necessitating careful planning and customization. Factors such as time zones, language barriers, and local business customs require special attention to ensure successful project execution.
Our approach involves meticulous organization from the outset, addressing potential obstacles proactively. We recognize that local legal requirements can be complex and may not always align with global processes. Therefore, we serve as moderators between global and local teams, facilitating discussions to balance adherence to the global template with necessary local adaptations.
Throughout the rollout process, we manage various system changes within SAP, including the installation of new country-specific modules, adjustments to master data, and the development of custom solutions to meet local legal requirements. Our responsibility is to ensure that the global template is implemented effectively and operates in full compliance with all applicable local regulations.
By partnering with cbs, businesses can confidently navigate the complexities of SAP rollouts in LATAM, achieving seamless integration and sustained compliance across their operations.
