Situation Before Cloud ERP
PMI Foods is a global enterprise that supplies an extensive range of products to all major international markets with corporate offices strategically located in the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. They had implemented Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Planning with lackluster results. They sought a new partner to truly collaborate with them to implement further Oracle Cloud solutions, deepening their commitment to improve business operations. In addition to modernizing business efficiencies, PMI sought to:
- Adopt Cloud to take advantage of regular updates and continuously leverage new features and functionality
- Eliminate costly customizations with each EBS update
- Adopt Oracle Modern Best Practices to streamline and standardize processes globally
- Reduce or eliminate work-around processes such as spreadsheets and regional/localized process variations

The first step in our collaboration was to ensure that the PMI Team had a clear and correct understanding of how Cloud would benefit their business.
