- BASF and Lorenz Snack-World conclude new frame agreement
- Cost reductions through on-demand SAP Hosting


The food manufacturer Lorenz Snack-World and BASF are continuing their collaboration in the areas of IT Hosting and IT Consulting which began in 2006. The two companies have defined specifics in a new frame agreement. Financial details on the contract were not available.

In the future, Lorenz will purchase Hosting and IT Landscape operations from BASF based on requirements (on demand). This means Lorenz will profit from even more flexibility and further cost reductions. The SAP Hosting will also be extended to include Lorenz Snack-World's Polish ERP system. Furthermore, BASF will take over the entire range of Application Management Services for the SAP Modules being used. The service range covered by the frame agreement is rounded out by User Helpdesk Service for the approximately 3,000 employees of the snack producer, headquartered in the German state of Hesse.

Efficiency and Flexibility through SAP Hosting On Demand

Carsten Korthaus, CIO at Lorenz Bahlsen Snack-World GmbH & Co KG, emphasizes: "In our previous cooperation BASF has provided outstanding technical solutions, enhanced by the high expertise of its specialists. The new models for flexible deployment of our IT landscape have convinced us to continue working together."

Dr. Ralf Sonnberger, Managing Director of BASF IT Services Holding GmbH adds: "With our SAP Hosting-On-Demand-Model we help Lorenz to cut costs. We also make the Lorenz IT landscape even more flexible".
