/PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Sugar, a leading producer of refined cane

SAP solution. This transition marks a significant milestone in U.S.
Sugar's long-standing partnership with SAP, enhancing the company's
business efficiency, precision agriculture capabilities, and
sustainability efforts.
Since the initial implementation of SAP systems in 2007, U.S.
Sugar has been a strong collaborator with SAP, contributing to the
development of the SAP Intelligent Agriculture solution, which won
the 2022 Hasso Plattner Founders' Award in the Products and
Technology category. With the latest upgrade to SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Private Edition, U.S. Sugar continues to lead the industry in
adopting innovative solutions that digitize farming processes and
services, increase operational efficiency, and drive operational
excellence and sustainability.
"We are thrilled to partner with SAP on this significant effort
to digitize our business with RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private
Edition. This transition not only enhances our core ERP
functionalities but also integrates advanced AI capabilities, which
will significantly improve our procurement, maintenance, and
sustainability performance," said Carl
Stringer, U.S. Sugar's Vice President of IT and Benefits.
"This collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging
cutting-edge technology to remain the low-cost producer of refined
sugar and vegetables."
"U.S. Sugar has been a pivotal partner in our journey to
innovate and enhance agricultural solutions. Their move to SAP
S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition using RISE with SAP exemplifies the
potential of integrated cloud solutions to transform business
operations," said Anja Strothkaemper, Global Vice President,
Product Marketing for Agribusiness and Commodity Management at SAP.
"We are excited to support U.S. Sugar in achieving sustainability

The upgrade using RISE with its SAP includes the core SAP
S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, which encompasses essential ERP
functionalities such as finance and procurement, along with new
capabilities like embedded AI. Additional modules such as SAP Ariba
solutions, the SAP Sustainability Control Tower solution, and the
SAP Service and Asset Manager mobile app will further optimize U.S.
Sugar's operations, ensuring seamless procurement activities,
real-time sustainability performance monitoring, and efficient
maintenance management.
Moreover, the integration of SAP Intelligent Agriculture will
enable U.S. Sugar to evaluate, enhance and further integrate its
digital farming solutions, fostering greater efficiency and
sustainability in their farming operations. As a company, U.S.

addition to being one of the largest domestic producers of refined
cane sugar, U.S. Sugar and its growers are the largest source of
market-fresh sweet corn during the winter and spring months east of
the Mississippi River every year.
The cloud delivery of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition will
also significantly improve the interoperability and system
resiliency between U.S. Sugar's Florida operations and the Savannah Refinery
in Georgia, providing a unified,
cloud-based business platform accessible from anywhere. The
integration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition using RISE with
SAP is expected to take place over the next several years.
U.S. Sugar has provided valuable insight into agribusiness
technology capabilities from SAP throughout its collaboration.

since 2018 and also participates in both the Efficient and
Sustainable Farming Workgroup and the Artificial Intelligence
