    About the SAP Global Template Program:

    PPG started the Global Template Initiative in 2021 to drive standardization across businesses and regions and consolidate various ERP systems into single global SAP S/4 HANA platform. The Global Template design was completed where business requirements across businesses and regions were reviewed, global standard processes were designed, and key design decisions were documented. The next phase of work is to identify gaps, build solutions and implement these processes using SAP's S/4 platform integrated with PPG applications footprint. PPG will map this plan to implement standard processes around the globe in five or more years.
