We are running SAP in a holding company which is not exactly a holding and subsidiary companies are in a value- chain of holding company. I mean although they have to follow all strategies of holding company and they are doing a specific task(s) to complete a product or service of holding company but they have their authority in some way also then they have their own internal process and can make decision about how to run them.
Now how we should implement and specially provide SAP in this holding? As I know almost holding companies like SHELL has their own IT department which is in charge of SAP implementation and support. Also I have heard some holdings have decided to closed their own SAP department and just keep a few people to control and monitor the SAP issues and take SAP consultancy from private consultancy companies.
Do you think there is a solution fits all holding companies or it depends? It depends on what? Is it depend on Holding situation and strategies? Is it depends on SAP market in the country? Or what?
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
