Business Need
Define business strategy and operational objectives across the
organization
Define and prioritize business capabilities
Identify key stakeholders to review and validate business capabilities
and assess technology constraints
Process standardization is a prerequisite for continuously improving
process performance and organizational efficiency on both the IT and
the business sides
Challenge
Replacing custom processes with the adoption of a standardized set of
processes that align with best industry practices
Lack of SCM systems integration with existing legacy systems that have
separate data and require manual intervention to support reporting
Existing outdated systems perpetuate system fragmentation & constrain
the ability to access information needed to manage SCM operations in
a timely fashion with current and real-time data for decision-making
Solution and
Results
Supported the development of a business case to justify the replacement
of disparate and point solutions
Worked with the team responsible for the development of the GRC
testimony and work papers to support the provisioning of an SAP ERP
solution to support the defined SCM business capabilities needed to drive
efficiencies, reduce costs, and eliminate redundancies
Standardization of SCM’s core business processes to enable automation
of many manual processes through a more integrated technology that
promotes one-time data input and reuse of data across the enterprise
