The Challenge 

A global manufacturing leader was ready for a change. With thousands of employees relying on their legacy SAP-based system, it was starting to hold them back. It no longer aligned with their growing, fast-moving business, and the need for a more agile, connected platform was urgent.  

They turned to Experis for help defining a clear path forward. The goal was to migrate from SAP to Salesforce in a way that would support global operations, enhance user experience and build a foundation for future growth.

How We Helped 

We began with a deep assessment of their existing SAP environment, business workflows and long-term goals. Our team, experienced in both SAP and Salesforce, developed a custom migration strategy tailored to the client’s unique operational needs.  

Key steps included:

  • Gathering business requirements and creating a phased project plan  
  • Developing a Salesforce migration roadmap aligned to business outcomes  
  • Collaborating across product owners, analysts and technical teams  
  • Engaging stakeholders throughout to ensure user needs were addressed  

This was more than a system migration. It was an opportunity to create smarter, more connected ways of working.

The Impact

The results were transformative and spoke for themselves.  

  • Over 700 user stories migrated from SAP to Salesforce  
  • More than 2,000 users now working on a unified, scalable platform  
  • Operational efficiencies gained across 100 countries  
  • B2B and B2C sales processes optimized for speed and ease  

The new Salesforce environment delivered stronger agility and smoother global operations. It also created a foundation for continuous innovation. With business units and support teams fully aligned, the company is now positioned for sustained growth in a competitive global market.
