Detailed Case Study
Business Issues

Company was struggling to get clear visibility on the product portfolio:

  • No single view of the product. Data is fragmented.
  • Poor data & insight with limited visibility of extensive project portfolio.
  • Dated systems with limited flexibility that impact operations and strategy.

Our consulting team supported the customer during the whole transformation program by
totally renewing the business processes and IT Architecture with the introduction of a
shared vocabulary, streamlined processes, clear responsibility and new tools integrated in
the existing landscape (ERP, RIMS).

The project was driven with Agile methodologies and organized in different Waves.
The initial MVP had the aim to quickly enable ROI, increase visibility and reduce time to
market.

Business transformation: enhanced business processes for success.

Global Business and multi-country rollout: acquired control on NPD projects and related launches.

Legacy systems phase out: decommissioned four legacy systems with clear cost saving.

Standardized processes: Enabled consistent capabilities, processes and skills.

Smart implementation: implemented industry best practices to achieve measurable success metrics.

Decreased TCO: reduced cost of ownership by integrating and automating.
