Simultaneous migration of the ERP system and EDI service provider
Context:
Roll-out of an entirely new IT system to replace a legacy ERP system, coupled with a transition to a new EDI platform, following the company’s acquisition.
Challenges:
- adaptation of a new ERP and WMS system to support the existing EDI documents,
- progressive replacement of IT systems, store by store, during a year-long migration, with parallel operation of two systems,
- requirement to set up new EDI connections for all suppliers.
Effects:
- a new IT system that fully supports EDI from day one,
- over 100 business partners migrated one-by-one to new EDI platform, without interruption in business activity.
Work done by our team:
- supervision and tests of the development in the new ERP system,
- contract negotiations with the EDI provider,
- development of internal software allowing progressive migration,
- tests of new EDI connections, go-live and control of first exchanged documents.
