Context
Our current Sunsystems solution business units of small sales and logistics companies consisting of 10 to 50 people. They are today mainly supported by the version 4.4.4 of the INFOR SunSystems and by the version 10.1 of the INFOR PMQA Reporting application. The today solution supports 175 users and 20 SUN Units spread in Africa, Asia and Oceania. Some units are already migrated to the version 6.2 and other Infor tools.

The current SUN System is managed by internal IT resource team of 2 FTEs (one in Singapore and one of South Africa), acting as application service manager and technical lead of the solution. The maintenance and development support is provided by INFOR consulting from India.

Due to history, lack of process governance and that the current SUN System is not Unicode enabled, the current ERP solution and its usage is not standardized across the different supported units and is duplicated/completed by a certain number of local printing, data collection/process applications.

My client is currently running a process reengineering project for its business units in Asia and Africa supported by a greenfield reimplementation of the Sunsystems ERP on version 6.2.

- to eradicate all non-standard local applications currently in use on top of the existing ERP by integrating their functionalities within the selected ERP solution

The project has currently reached the next status:
- Standardized business process description have been generated
- the related IT system and functionalities business requirement have been generated,
- A core template solution has been developed, tested and rolled out to 3 units

The project intends to continue to implement roll outs in Africa and Asia at a rhythm of 2 to several units every 2 to 3 months with an expected project end after summer 2018.

The mission of the internal IT team working in the IT project stream consists of:
- Solution architecture (Requirement gathering, solution design, IT change mgt)
- Solution expertise and IT/User knowledge build
- Control of the implemented solution done by Infor (IT testing, Cutover review, Post go live support)
