Andrea Pirondini - Prysmian's CEO North America Executive Director

Migrating from an Integrated SAP ECC Worldwide​® system to SAP S/4 Hana® presented a high level of complexity. The main challenge was to create two totally integrated environments able to work as one without impacting ongoing processes and business. Mind The Value successfully managed to complete the migration by splitting the process into two stages, creating a new SAP® environemnt for North America fully integrated with the already existing Integrated SAP ECC Worldwide​® system.
