Legacy To Modern: Consolidating IP Systems Globally

IPMS Rollout in Record Time with PSS Solutions

Migrating to a new global IP management system (IPMS) typically takes years. However, through partnering with PSS Solutions, Syngenta achieved a “2-in-1” rollout, completing one of the implementations in under 12 months.

Challenge

Legacy to Modern: Consolidating IP Systems Globally

Syngenta needed to replace four legacy systems with a single modern IP platform, while integrating additional entities including China and Israel.

Existing systems were unstable and prone to downtime, the project lacked a defined scope, and regional process variations limited global visibility and efficiency.

Solution

Building a Strong Foundation for IP System Transformation

Interviews and surveys defined the scope. We mapped the As-Is processes and elaborated the To-Be state, aligning stakeholders around key requirements. Leveraging our market knowledge, we bypassed the RFI phase and directly shortlisted a select number of IPMS providers.

Impact

Global IP Transformation Delivered in Under 12 Months

In a record time, Syngenta deployed a modern, configurable global IPMS, standardizing processes across all regions. Automation delivered significant efficiency gains, while the total cost of ownership was reduced by half.
