Oterra live with SAP SuccessFactors across 31 countries in only 8 weeks

Oterra formerly Chr. Hansen Natural Colors, now the largest provider of naturally sourced colors worldwide has gone live with 8 major HR processes across 6 modules to 31 countries for their 650 employees. The SuccessFactors platform with the ready2run® methodology has allowed HR to quickly establish a global HR organization and ensure continuity of its services for the global workforce. The 8 week timeframe was made possible due to the experience, delivery methodology and pre-packaged accelerators NTT DATA Business Solutions has developed but also due to the strong collaboration between Oterra and the project team.

“We were happy with NTT DATA Business Solutions and how they delivered the SuccessFactors project with their ready2run® methodology. We were able to set-up HR, its processes and employee data framework for 31 countries across 6 modules in only 8 weeks. It means we can have a single view of our workforce and enable HR to implement a global HR organization” says Mikael Kragh Head of IT at Oterra.

A Common HR Platform

Oterra consists of a dedicated team of professionals around the world united in the belief that nature got it right the first time and that no one knows natural colors better than them. With HR now having a single global view of its workforce, running on globally and locally standardized processes, they are further supported to continue attracting, engaging and retaining the talent they need to support the exciting growth journey that lays ahead for them.

”It is a credit to both Oterra’s partnership, commitment and for trusting NTT DATA Business Solutions that made this project as successful as it is. It always gives me and the team immense pride when a customer can leverage our leadership and experience in the market so they can adopt leading practice, accelerate towards their objectives and enjoy the process along the way”, says Morten Bjerregaard, Vice President, Head of Human Experience Management Northern Europe at NTT DATA Business Solutions.
