Q: WHAT WERE THE KEY CHALLENGES?
A: The hardest part of the whole process was working out what each country did with its systems, and exactly how they used the warehouse application, for instance.
We created a team which spent about six months studying the company and establishing how the various systems had been set up. During this time, other than a few confirmatory checks, we hardly touched BPCS. At the end of the process, we built a data map which is still live today, and remains a prime driver within our IS organisation.
