Michelin Achieves Flexibility and Scalability to Support their Global Operation

Michelin logo

Michelin turned to OpenText for a flexible B2B infrastructure.

We were looking for a scalable solution with security. We found that OpenText B2B Managed Services was completely in line with our strategy and this is why we moved to Managed Services. I would say that we are extremely happy.

Challenge

The dynamic nature of the automotive industry and the significant growth opportunities in emerging markets presents a significant challenge to companies like Michelin.

In order to minimize their supply chain risk, moving production capacity to other countries, or working more closely with customers in emerging markets, the company required a flexible B2B infrastructure.
