LabWare LIMS V8.0 rollout and global SAP update

LabWare LIMS V8.0 was to be rolled out globally for around 400 users as close to the software standard as possible, in parallel with a two-year SAP update across all business areas. PMO, requirements engineering and change management made both programmes manageable and accepted.

Back to overview

Starting point

The client wanted to roll out LabWare LIMS V8.0 globally: as close to standard as possible for around 400 users from multiple departments.

Specialist teams would have been torn between process work, development and coordination without relief. A global SAP update ran in parallel: without a communications plan, acceptance losses across business areas were likely.

Approach

cube one established a PMO as the central coordination point and relieved specialist teams through structured project management and change management.
