After a multibillion dollar merger of US packaging companies, Altivity Packaging needed to convert its client financial data from disparate legacy systems into SAP Financials. Data to be converted included GL, AP, AR, customers, and vendors.
Altivity’s manufacturing plants functioned as separate entities, each with independent databases. Information structure was inconsistent and the new business model required data to be stored in one central system. Legacy financial and customer/vendor data had to be gathered and converted properly.
Extensive client interviews lead to the development of complex algorithms to map, translate, transform, and converge data and consolidate information using Microsoft Technologies and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. Automated data cleansing programs eliminated temporary employee head-count and offered substantial project savings, both financial and timeline.
