| When an organisation expands, the operational complexities expand exponentially. What often goes amiss is the integrity in thoughts, actions and intentions. |
Communication gaps,
supply chain slacks, global integration, knowledge management, policy fulfillment are some of the challenges that arise. To maintain integrity more
often than not diversity
is restricted. |
|
| |
|
| |
At Mahindra, we seek unity in the diversity of not
just our people, but also our products and processes. |
|
|
|
To unite all our companies through one common thread, we harmonized the communication of 60 Group Companies via the unique SAP platform. |
| |
This integration of processes across core functions will channelize inter-company expertise, enhance efficiency and optimize resources. |
|
|
 |
| |
| This project is the largest big bang project in the world that harmonizes- |
 |
|
|
| Project Harmony, is an initiative by Mahindra to interlink all the departments of the organisation through a central database. The aim is to leverage the interconnectivity to realize real time reporting, streamline communication and automate various business practices using SAP as a platform. |
|

This is a project of
epic proportions
