The Business Challenge

Our client, a global sportswear company, confronted a multifaceted challenge during their transition from an off-the-shelf Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to a custom-built solution. The project’s complexity was heightened by the imperative to coordinate over 200 personnel across various departments and seamlessly integrate with 38 external systems. It was also critical to ensure smooth management of the client’s extensive product range and services during the transition. This demanded change management, extensive training, communication strategies, and risk mitigation.
