“Although Danone is a significant SAP client, the industry giant decided to use an
open source integrated ERP solution for the emerging countries where it operates.
OpenERP was identified as a good SAP alternative for Danone small entities.
OpenERP was integrated in three entities of Danone in Columbia, Argentina and
Australia.
Although the company has invested a lot for several years
implementing SAP, it proved not to fit the needs that Danone had in the green
field entities. From 2007, the structure of the group has changed, finding itself in
the position to manage smaller entities that were not necessarily generating big
revenue.
So, implementing their core model in SAP didn't make sense.
Consequently, a less expensive and more flexible solution was sought, allowing
faster implementations. Even though SAP covers a large array of needs, it's non-
modular integrated software, leaving not much room for errors.
Currently,
Danone develops a platform in order to synchronise OpenERP with SAP”.
