Seshasayee Paper and Boards (SPB) Empowers Its Workforce with Secure, Governed AI—While Accelerating Custom ERP Development Cycle

“We wanted our people to have access to AI — but not before we knew exactly how it would be implemented, secure and governed. The foundation came first.”

 - S. Srinivas, Director (Finance) & Secretary, SPB. 

Challenge

A publicly listed Indian company (NSE: SESHAPAPER) and a pioneer in bagasse-based papermaking, Seshasayee Paper and Boards (SPB) operates its mills with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, and operational discipline. As SPB set out to bring AI directly into the hands of its employees, it applied the same disciplined approach to enterprise AI adoption: establishing the right foundation for identity, security, access, governance, and control from day one.

Solution

Working closely with SPB,

• OneGlobe established a secure and governed foundation for enterprise AI adoption, enabling employees to use Claude within SPB’s existing identity and security framework.

• Claude Team Deployment: Provisioned and configured the Claude Team workspace for enterprise use.

• Secure SSO Integration: Integrated Claude with SPB’s existing Google Workspace identity using SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO), aligning access with established security and privacy controls.

• AI Enablement & Training: Trained the core team on prompt engineering, responsible AI usage, and practical best practices to accelerate adoption.

• Governance from Day One: Established a controlled Claude environment with appropriate administration, access, security, and governance built into the deployment from the outset.

Business Impact

•  5-Week Deployment: Secure, governed Claude environment operational within five weeks of the initial working session.

• AI Champions Enabled: Super users trained to drive Claude adoption across the organization and help teams maximize productivity.

• Rapid User Adoption: Strong engagement and frequent utilization of available usage capacity drove expansion of the Claude user base within weeks of go-live.

• 80% Faster ERP Development: Forms-to-APEX conversion time reduced from approximately 8 hours to less than 60 minutes, dramatically accelerating ERP development cycles.

• Self-Sufficient from Day One: SPB IT assumed administration of the Claude environment from launch, creating a scalable foundation for broader enterprise AI initiatives.
