Enterprise Reimagined^TM: build a clear path to value creation

After more than 20 years of acquisitive growth, the company was planning an enterprise resource transformation to replace its aging system.

How we helped

An EY team helped create a roadmap and investment case for the program, involving dozens of business units. The business case focused on speed-to-value and coordination with the technology implementation, shared services design, working capital improvement and tax optimization.

Client benefits

More than $250 million in savings over 10 years, from working capital, tax, and other efficiencies that self-funded the technology implementation. Increased ability to evaluate where technology investments yield the greatest value.

The company had an inconsistent capital allocation process due to a lack of integrated data and analytics capabilities as well as limited visibility into investment performance across franchises and functions.

How we helped

The EY team helped design a detailed capital allocation process, including operating model, prioritization and data-tracking capabilities. We also helped build data collection mechanisms, leadership dashboards and forecasting tools.

Client benefits

Better and more flexible decision-making in the capital allocation process, enabled by an automated, data-driven enterprise portfolio management program.
