SAP Implementation for Global Medical Device Company

The situation

Following an acquisition to create one of the largest medical device companies in the world, both entities needed to align on the same version of SAP.

Pivot approach

Pivot brought together change activities, communications and training into one overall strategy providing a streamlined flow of activities.
