Master Cost-Effective SAP Success: Proven Strategies to Streamline SAP Rollouts and M&A Processes
About the Interview
Many companies struggle with the high implementation costs associated with ERP deployments. The data collected during an SAP rollout or merger and acquisition (M&A) is often the most expensive component, making it challenging to reduce expenses without strategic hires and careful planning. In this interview, we speak with D4M COO Jean-Yves Durocher, who shares his expertise and advice on how to ensure a successful and cost-effective SAP implementation.
In this conversation, Jean-Yves states that when it comes to lowering costs of SAP rollouts, the central piece of advice for the merger process would be to surround yourself with the right expert who has been through the process before. He explains that obtaining advice from individuals who have navigated similar situations can prevent time-consuming and costly errors. Furthermore, IT consultants like D4M, with their multidisciplinary experience, can arrive on day one with a comprehensive checklist and methodology, helping your team save time.
To sum up, while some companies may hesitate to incur additional expenses, they should view this as an “accelerator” for their M&A process. By hiring seasoned professionals who have “been there, done that,” you avoid the need to reinvent the wheel and can develop your own checklist later. Ultimately, D4M can help streamline your merger or acquisition experience by becoming more effective along the process, and overall reduce expenses and possible errors.
