Southern Company’s “Enterprise Solutions”, a Multi Million Dollar ERP Project
What it’s really like to design, build, and implement a multi million dollar software solution? In 2006, Southern Company executives gave the go ahead to totally overhaul its supply chain, work-order management, and financial accounting systems. This undertaking would involve a dedicated team of over two hundred and fifty full-time employees and contractors four years from start to finish. Come listen to an “un-official” account of implementing this mega ERP project. Get a first hand account from Carmine Reppucci, one of the Project Directors and hear his take on what went well, and more importantly, what were the some of the “pitfalls” that challenged this project. He will give you his un-biased opinion of what it’s really like to take on a project of this magnitude. This presentation will touch on why the decision was made, how they planned on accomplishing it, and what valuable lessons were learned along the way.
Carmine Reppucci, Enterprise Solutions Project Manager – Southern Company
