Case Study: Global Pipe Manufacturer achieves smoother ERP implementation with Grant Thornton and empower.x

Global Pipe Manufacturer saves 15-20% of change management work with Grant Thornton LLP

A global pipe manufacturer faced the challenge of updating its outdated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions across 14 different sites. The systems were nearing the end of their support, and the company had previously struggled with similar multi-site implementations due to poor communication and planning. Grant Thornton LLP was engaged to help realign its technology strategy.

Grant Thornton implemented an Oracle JD Edwards solution tailored for manufacturing and utilized its empower.x platform to drive change management and readiness. This approach saved the change management team an estimated 15-20% of its typical work by standardizing activities and providing greater visibility. The implementation was a success, leading to 14 successful site launches and inspiring the manufacturer to expand the ERP updates to all of its U.S. sites.
