Business challenges

Following several acquisitions across the Americas, our client needed to standardize the operating, business, and IT processes of the new business units by following a global SAP template rollout program.

1

Unify all businesses under a single ERP system to perceive M&A benefits more quickly and manage IT support centrally.

2

Place all businesses under the same global process compliance umbrella, localizing when needed.

3

Reduce IT costs associated with maintaining multiple technology environments.

4

Effectively manage change, acceptance criteria, and rollout phases.

How Softtek comes into play

Softtek was engaged to manage all moving parts in the project lifecycle, including the GAP analysis and blueprint, knowledge transfer, transition approach, go-live waves, and post go-live hyper care. During each phase, Softtek applied change management, completed data migrations, and provided end user training for multiple audiences (strategic, analytical, and transactional users).

Implemented 7 functional modules, including finance, controlling, procurement, sales, production, human capital, and business intelligence.

Provided communication plans and key user training to improve satisfaction and change acceptance.

Migrated approximately 3,000 fixed assets from a legacy system to SAP and configured 13 legal entities.
