Challenge: After implementing SAP Financial, NBCUniversal elected to replace a legacy supply-chain system designed for records and CDs with a new instance of SAP for supply chain.
Impact / Key Learnings: You can never have enough test cases, and you can never trust that test data will look like production. Just as at Starbucks, data-warehouse consolidations in tandem with transactional-system migrations are hard — and sometimes the application layer can save the day.
