Case Study
Migrated 20 Lines of Business into a New Intranet
Served as the Americas PMO for the integration of three legacy intranet systems into one internal portal on new SAP technology. The company was migrating the intranet from three disparate lines-of business and technologies into one using SAP’s Netweaver and homegrown Content Management System (CMS). This program was also to serve as a test for go-to-market readiness of the solution.
