Challenges
- Replace a legacy, error-prone enterprise resource planning (ERP) system which was limited by a lack of expert IT consultants and support
- Adopt an out-of-the-box ERP system that is easy to use, supports the company’s global strategies, and meets stringent life-sciences industry requirements
- Enable sales teams in other countries to adopt the same ERP system as used by head offices, rather than needing to customize the system to meet local language requirements
- Enable the company to rapidly integrate acquired companies to jumpstart the return on investment
