MYR Group
Sluggish processes and green screens were affecting productivity at MYR Group. A JD Edwards World to EnterpriseOne Upgrade improved productivity, increased velocity of service delivery to the business, and made mobility a reality.
MYR Group is a Top 5 ENR U.S. Specialty contractor with segments in commercial and industrial, transmission & distribution. Their need for efficiency and modernization was met by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
The Challenges
MYR Group was running JD Edwards World and felt like it wasn’t user-friendly or modern. Green screens, a largely custom project management system, and lack of visibility to easy reporting were causing roadblocks to their productivity, and a sluggish environment. They also wanted a mobile system that would run efficiently on all devices and be able to leverage a platform for an acquisition strategy.
The CSS Approach
CSS brought an approach that included stakeholders at all levels to establish goals and governance of the project. Our strong construction industry and JDE E1 credentials meant they could leverage CSS’ toolkit of industry-standard templates, best practices, and methodology to analyze the base functionality offered by JDE E1 and analyze the ‘gaps’ with the current system in use. With goals to minimize any rework for new company acquisitions and standardize operating practices across the company, CSS led the MYR group and its steering committee with a focus on project costs and schedule to meet those objectives.
The Results
With a new modern ERP platform, and an Organizational Change Management (OCM) plan happening. MYR group accomplished its goals of user adoption, easy access formatting for decision-makers, and a faster, more efficient solution that would keep pace with an aggressive growth strategy.
What our client says
“CSS really helped us design a long-term vision that supported our goals from a business and technology standpoint. ”
