Success Stories > Manufacturing Industry
$8 Billion division of global 50 manufacturer who, in less than five months, needed to transfer more than 6,000 people and over 1,400 applications transparently, and without a business shutdown.
Challenge: Customer announced that it was spinning off an industrial manufacturing pision to European company. The customer faced the massive job of transferring 6,000 employees across a number of countries, along with over 1,000 IT applications. The transition had to be seamless to customers and suppliers; all business process associated with the pision would have to be extricated and put into place at the new company, all without disrupting service to customers.
Solution: Customer engaged Fulcrum to help it decouple its pision. The key to the smooth transition was the core Project Office, made up of people from both companies, through which every aspect of the pestiture passed. This office had full authority and executive-level support from both companies for all decisions, and managed the project across functions, geographies, countries and processes.
Results: Customer’s successful pestiture of a $8 Billion company was completed in less than 5 months and with no downtime.
