Dow Corning Corp. has extended its SAP information delivery system to customers in India which gives them immediate access to the support and information they need anywhere in the world.

Raj Kapur, MD, Dow Corning India, said, "This additional investment in India will support the growth of our customers' businesses. By adopting Dow Corning's proven global system, we will be able to provide more efficient service and faster response times to Indian companies."

"Although we have been using SAP information management software here, our system was not fully integrated with Dow Corning's state-of-the-art global system until now," he added.

The global SAP system enables Dow Corning to respond quickly to India's rapidly changing business and market conditions, and will give customers more choices to better meet their individual needs for performance and innovation. The enhanced SAP system also provides more accurate information and enhanced reporting capabilities for local governmental, environmental, and health and safety regulations.

SAP automates the management of Dow Corning's global supply chain; customer and supplier data; and accounting, billing and fulfillment processes. This implementation also supports the company's safety and sustainability goals.
