VWR International is a successful U.S.-headquartered company with worldwide operations, but no HR synergy and a country-centric culture. Come hear how VWR tackled 17 separate solutions, inconsistent HR practices, varying levels of data quality, no applications integration, some global locations with no HR solution, and disparate data making consolidated reporting intensely manual.

You will also learn valuable insights into the processes and pitfalls of a phased global deployment.
