SAP Implementation Support

The client’s objective was to implement SAP Financials to support their North American Accounting & Finance, as well as Procurement organizations. The scope of this project included the North American Head Quarters and production facilities in the USA and Mexico. The client partnered with a large implementation partner, however, had challenges filling their roles on the project team without disrupting current operations. Global Conductor stepped in to provide knowledge experts in SAP/A&F/Procurement/Project Management.

Global conductor worked across RTR, OTC, PTP, BPC, and Reporting to ensure the SAP system was a success for our client. We had the second largest consulting headcount on the project.
