When Mike Jackson claimed the position as CIO with Rockwell Automation in 2003, he is facing 700 different legacy systems over 80 countries. He decided to integrate the global business under single SAP. His key strategies are firm determination to change, establishing governance and project priority settingand building a scalable process. The project began in May 2006 and have invested multimillion dollar, now it has gone through 80% of the venture. The corporation has save $100 million annually and is looking forward more.
What a big challenge to replace 700 legacy systems! it's a live or die decision. The cultural and time zone differences etc. place barriers to the effort.
Beside the strategies above, the support of the CEO Keith Nosbusch is a key reason of success.
What supprises me in the case is that ERP can be applied globally!
