A tremendous accomplishment for both the client and D4M, due to complexity and potential disruptions to key manufacturing operations
About the 60 in 60 interview
It can be difficult for consulting companies to establish an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that spans multiple locations and business units in a timely manner. That is why, in this interview, we meet with D4M CEO Jean-Yves Durocher, who explains in detail the concept of 60-in-60, which is the achievement of integrating ERP SAP in 60 different locations in 60 months. 60-in-60 is one of D4M’s largest projects to date and considering the complexity of the endeavor and the potential for disruptions to company operations, it represents a tremendous accomplishment for both the client and D4M.
In his description of the project, Jean-Yves Durocher explores the crucial elements that made 60-in-60 a success. He starts out by discussing D4M’s collaboration with a tier one car manufacturer and how their global growth resulted in an international ERP system network, prompting D4M to step in to support their SAP needs. Thus, D4M installed new SAP ERP at 60 separate locations, over a period of 60 months across 5 countries. Subsequently, Jean-Yves Durocher clarifies which industries can use this approach and offers some straightforward guidance on what makes the project unique.
To conclude, the accomplishment of the 60-in-60 project highlights D4M’s aptitude for handling the complexities of SAP integrations spanning several locations. D4M has showcased the transformative potential of their collaborative methodology, offering a guide for other businesses confronting similar strategic and operational challenges.
