Monsanto initially worked with consultants from Deloitte and Touche to design an integrated set of business processes and a new corporate structure. However, when it came time to roll up their sleeves and get SAP running, they enlisted Compaq Services and Compaq's internal SAP support group. We saw an opportunity to partner with Compaq, both as a vendor and as a peer. Compaq's own SAP project closely mirrors ours. They have given us valuable direction and assistance based on real-world experience.
Most companies focus only on performance.
Richard Diehl, SAP Technical Infrastructure Manager, Monsanto.
