Professional Services | 3000 | $700M | United States | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management | Supply Chain Management | 2017 |
In 2017, Hamilton Company implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management across its global equipment manufacturing operations, engaging Sikich as the implementation partner. The deployment targeted the Supply Chain Management needs of configure-to-order and engineer-to-order product lines while also addressing higher-volume lines such as syringes and pipettes, and it positioned Dynamics 365 as the companywide business management platform.
The implementation used Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management functionality to centralize procurement, planned order conversion, requisitioning, purchase order consolidation, production management, and field services administration. Sikich applied its HEADSTART for Equipment Manufacturing methodology to provide a preconfigured solution, accelerating configuration and enabling rapid conference room pilots with repeated data conversions and full data loads through multiple test cycles.
The solution was deployed on the Microsoft cloud stack with native integrations to Azure analytics and Power BI for operational and business intelligence, and Hamilton planned an integration with an automated third-party warehouse management solution to extend warehouse operations. Remote collaboration using Microsoft Teams supported the rollout during the pandemic, and key operational locations included Reno Nevada, Franklin Massachusetts, and Bonaduz Switzerland.
Project governance shifted to a business-driven model with IT and business stakeholders co-leading requirements, testing, and user acceptance, and Sikich supporting repeated mock go-lives and data conversion rehearsals through at least four conference room pilot iterations. Explicit outcomes observed after go-live included the ability to scale to more users, transactions, customers, and work centers during a surge in demand, reduced manual data entry that shortened purchase order processing from hours to minutes, and broader access to analytics and insight tools on the Azure platform.
