Case Study: Mead Johnson Nutrition achieves global ERP transformation in 11 months with Cognizant and SAP S/4HANA RISE

Mead Johnson Nutrition completes global ERP transformation in 11 months with Cognizant

Mead Johnson Nutrition, a global infant nutrition company, faced the challenge of modernizing its aging SAP ECC ERP system before its end-of-life. The company needed to migrate its entire global operation, involving 4,500 users, to SAP S/4HANA on SAP RISE in under 12 months with a single weekend cutover to avoid disrupting its critical production and distribution processes. They engaged Cognizant for its expertise in SAP S/4HANA transformations to help achieve this ambitious vision.

Cognizant implemented the solution using a highly collaborative approach, advanced automation, and generative AI to remediate thousands of custom objects and validate data. This enabled the entire project to be completed in a record-breaking 11 months with a final cutover of just 61 hours. The results for Mead Johnson were significant, with the modernization fully funding itself through cost savings. Cognizant's efforts also led to a 13% faster delivery timeline and provided the company with a new digital backbone to support future growth and efficiency.
