Partnerships and continuing down the digital transformation path Our trusted ERP partner Synergex has been a crucial ally for Lallemand for over 35 years . Petruccelli adds : “ In my point of view , they ’ re the essential definition of what a true strategic business partner really is . They ’ ve supported our ERP system for decades . When we started with them , we had one location and that has absolutely ballooned to over 100 different locations with high complexity , all being supported by Synergex on their Synergy ERP platform .
“ Their team of developers are essentially part of our team . I don ' t see it as ‘ them and us ’, we ' re one team . Their developers are part of our daily stand ups , contributing to our day-to-day ERP advancements . They understand our business challenges and they bring their expertise and agility from their business to help us come up with solutions that minimise the impact on our business .”
Lallemand is two years into the transformation path . According to Petruccelli , one of the key enablers of this transformation has been solidifying the IT organisation from a people perspective . “ We feel we ' ve done a great job at bringing in additional key skill sets , while expanding our IT organisation into additional key global regions which has been vital to our success . We currently have our four IT global hubs in Canada , France , Brazil and South Africa , with additional strategic help in the UK and Australia . Our fantastic global team supports all areas of the world in a very efficient manner ,” concludes Petruccelli .
