Lead more than 150 resources from Cascades, IBM and other partners in a 3-phase SAP implementation (production line adaptations, WM and OTC/Vistex). This project has delivered SAP sales order (OTC, Vistex, WM) functionality to a group of 20 plants and distribution centers in North America by mid-2018. This was a major transformation as the company moved from a legacy system to SAP, bringing all the order-to-cash capability along with WM, financial and reporting systems to the new environment.I went to Cascades to recover this project, and left proud after months of hard work to see it come to fruition. The business units went onto the new system by mid-2018 as originally planned.
