products - divestitures
Divestiture is not an end in itself but rather a means to building
companies that can grow and prosper over the long haul. Wise executives
divest businesses in order to create new ones and expand existing
ones. Companies are under increasing pressure to sustain growth and
retain existing customers, while reducing the impact of organizational
changes such as divestitures.The eprentise® Divestiture
software automates the process of filtering specific
information about customers and products from a single production
database into two separate database instances. Both the source database
and the filtered database remain as complete functioning, fully configured
applications with only the information relevant to each independent
company preserved in that company's production database.
When divesting, eprentise software creates two fully functional
instances by copying all supporting configuration and transaction data
to maintain the relational integrity of both the source system and the
divested system. Companies may divest data based on any type of
criteria including product line, customers, regions, or organization
units.
The eprentise team has helped companies rapidly spin off parts of the
information systems of a company to position it for a sale or a
divestiture including:
|
 |
The divestiture
of a division of a large chemical company, the separation of
the systems and the processes, and then the merging of that
divested company with a competitor company within an 18 month
period |
|
|
The development
of a strategy for divestiture of 8 business units of a global
telecom company. |
