SAP S/4HANA in Private Cloud Helps Build up Organization
Since COVID-19 struck the United States, the building products industry has undergone unprecedented growth. However, the industry has also experienced significant impacts associated with a lack of resources to meet demand.
SAPinsider sat down with Marty Menard, CIO for Pacific Coast Companies Inc. (PCCI), one of four major subsidiaries generating revenue for Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc. (PCBP), a family-run, private, third-generation company in the building products industry. PCCI serves as the shared service organization supporting all of PCBP and its family of companies — in such areas as human resources and information technology.
When Menard joined PCCI in 2017, he recommitted to investing in technology. “The biggest investment we’ve made has been moving from our legacy ECC environment into the SAP S/4HANA environment. We realized that there had to be an investment in technology equal to that growth in the business, otherwise we wouldn’t be competitive.”
PCCI continues to accelerate its business results by innovating across new SAP platforms using a “no blink” deployment approach.
