Legal Separation of Fortune 500 Company
Project Overview
The legal separation of a Fortune 500 company required the planning, definition, and execution of an integration workstream to spin off a portion of the business into a new company. The project involved data separation, migration, and mapping for over 100 applications requiring integration to/from third-party providers across all functional areas globally. Additionally, new middleware was needed for high-priority integrations essential for Day 1 operations.
Key Challenges
Complexity: The project involved a large number of applications and integrations, making it complex to manage and execute.
Data Sensitivity: The data involved in the separation was highly sensitive, requiring careful handling and security measures.
Time Constraints: The project had a tight deadline, requiring the team to work efficiently and effectively.
Project Approach
The project was divided into the following phases:
Planning and Definition: This phase involved gathering requirements, developing a strategic plan, and defining the scope of the project.
Execution: This phase involved the implementation of the integration workstream, including data separation, migration, and mapping.
Testing and Validation: This phase involved testing the integrations and validating the data accuracy.
Go-Live: This phase involved the deployment of the new integrations and the separation of the two companies.
Project Outcome
The project was successfully completed on time and within budget. The new integrations were deployed without any major issues, and the data was successfully separated and migrated. The project team worked closely with global teams to ensure that all requirements were met and that the project was executed smoothly.
