Case Study: FEMSA achieves centralized project management and 12% project cost savings with OpenText

Consolidate and centralize project management to improve resource allocation

FEMSA CSC, the shared services center for FEMSA (the largest independent Coca‑Cola bottler and owner of OXXO), manages consulting for 40+ large projects a year. Project management was fragmented across multiple non‑integrated tools, leaving leaders without clear visibility into resource utilization, causing missed deadlines, cost overruns and reduced profitability. CSC needed to consolidate project management under a single, integrated solution.

CSC implemented Micro Focus PPM—deploying portfolio, financial, project, resource and time management modules—to centralize resources and cost data and improve forecasting. Within months the company saw faster, more efficient project execution, $5.6 million pesos saved in the first six months, an estimated 11.3 million pesos in annual savings and a roughly 12% reduction in anticipated project costs, prompting consideration of broader rollout.
