Companies of varying sizes that have implemented SAP products reveal surprising similarities. Two industrial manufacturers that are both well into their SAP rollouts recently shared their stories. One is a $350M organization, with 2,300 employees and 14 locations in North America and one in China. The other has $5B-plus in revenue, with 70 plants worldwide, hundreds of sales/service centers, and more than 20,000 employees. The discussions reiterated the fact that, whether it is a midmarket organization of limited scope or a large, multinational organization, the business complexities, implementation challenges, and resulting lessons learned are essentially the same.
