The Challenge
Linde Gas, the world’s third-largest gas provider and a longtime client of Auritas, was preparing for a high-stakes merger with Airgas, another major player in the industry. To meet regulatory requirements and avoid forming a monopoly, Linde Gas needed to divest specific assets in a manner that upheld the highest standards of security and confidentiality.
At the same time, the company was grappling with complex data archiving challenges, adding another layer of difficulty to an already intricate process. Recognizing the need for a trusted partner with deep expertise in both mergers and divestitures as well as data management, Linde Gas turned to Auritas.
With a strong track record in secure data handling and SAP system optimization, Auritas was uniquely positioned to support Linde Gas. Their partnership ensured a smooth, compliant transition that aligned with strategic goals while maintaining data integrity and operational continuity.
The Solution
The action plan began with a meticulous review of granular details to address specific document requirements, ensuring every aspect was accounted for with precision. To maintain confidentiality and safeguard sensitive information, key data points were carefully obfuscated before transitioning the necessary data to the designated environment.
Rigorous test cycles were then conducted to validate the process, ensuring that only the essential information was presented, with unnecessary or sensitive details excluded. This approach not only upheld stringent security standards but also ensured compliance and accuracy throughout the data handling process.
