Top 5: Enterprise Resource Planning

1. SAP In 2005 Gillette merged with Procter & Gamble, forming one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. Although Gillette is headquartered in Boston, Mass., all its SAP activities are driven from the EMEA IT hub at Kronberg, Germany. Gillette needed to created a stable and flexible integration platform. The company already had an SAP portfolio with the mySAP Customer Relationship Management solution, the SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization component, the mySAP Supplier Relationship Management solution, a separate human resources installation and a data warehousing component. The ERP software supported the major business processes at Gillette's commercial entities and production facilities, including finance, controlling, order management, procurement, logistics execution, production planning, research and development, engineering, and customer service processes. Gillette became one of the first companies to upgrade to the latest release of the mySAP ERP solution. Implementation highlights include: Upgraded complex system to mySAP ERP in only seven months; managed parallel execution of various SAP projects; coordinated work of 17 external project partners -- all while not impairing business processes.
