Tags:
erp

Overview Ingersoll Rand is known for its wide range of leading commercial brands, from Club Car golf cars to Trane air conditioning systems and services. Its operational diversity presented Ingersoll Rand with a challenge. It needed to streamline its business operations, optimize efficiency across the enterprise, and offer responsive service to customers and partners. It wanted significant improvements in market facing metrics and in supply chain performance. With around one third of all sectors in the company using Oracle E-Business Suite - one of the largest Oracle footprints in the world - Ingersoll Rand decided to migrate all sectors in its five business divisions to Oracle over three years, to support a business transformation program underpinned by common processes.
