- Infosys implemented and took live CP Core, Syngenta's global SAP S/4HANA transformation for Crop Protection.
- The platform supports more than 10,000 employees across 80 countries.
- Multiple ERP environments were merged into one global platform, with fewer core customizations.
- Infosys Topaz (generative and agentic AI) and Infosys Cobalt (cloud) supported the project.
- The release gives no figures on cost savings or efficiency gains.
One platform instead of several ERP environments
CP Core was delivered jointly by Infosys and Syngenta. Built on SAP S/4HANA, it brings multiple ERP environments together on a single global platform, according to Infosys. The company says this simplifies Syngenta's technology landscape and reduces core customizations in line with SAP best practices.
The platform serves as a unified digital core for research, manufacturing, supply chain, regulatory, finance and commercial functions. Infosys states that it improves collaboration, strengthens governance and provides greater visibility across Syngenta's global Crop Protection business.
The announcement was made from Bengaluru, India, on 27 October 2026.
AI and cloud tools behind the project
The transformation was powered by Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt. Topaz is described as an AI-first set of services, solutions and platforms that use generative and agentic AI technologies. Cobalt refers to the Infosys cloud offerings.
According to Infosys, the work helped modernize business processes, improve data quality and establish a trusted enterprise data foundation. AI capabilities were also introduced to automate routine activities and enable greater standardization. The company stresses that people stay at the center of critical business decisions.
What the companies say
Feroz Sheikh, Chief Information and Digital Officer at Syngenta, said that CP Core "gives our people a simpler, more reliable way to work, helping us better serve farmers across all our markets." He added that bringing operations onto one modern digital foundation strengthens collaboration and improves agility.
Jasmeet Singh, EVP and Global Head of Manufacturing at Infosys, said that large-scale ERP transformations require precision, deep industry knowledge and flawless execution. In his words, the milestone builds on the long-standing collaboration between Infosys and Syngenta, and combines Infosys' understanding of the Syngenta business with the capabilities of Infosys Cobalt and Infosys Topaz.
What it means for Syngenta and its customers
For Syngenta, the main outcome is a simpler technology base. Infosys says the streamlined landscape provides a stable foundation for future innovations while improving operational efficiency at scale. Syngenta describes the goal as enabling its teams to focus on advancing innovation and delivering the science and solutions that growers rely on.
Syngenta describes itself as an agricultural technology company that employs more than 30,000 people in over 90 countries. The Crop Protection unit is headquartered in Switzerland. The release does not give figures on cost savings, timelines or efficiency gains, so the benefits remain the companies' own descriptions for now.
