FMCG Case Study
40% Productivity Gains
From Fragmentation to 40% Productivity Gains
How H-TOM Transformed a Global FMCG Data Integration
Challenge
An FTSE 100 FMCG leader faced operational fragmentation during a high-stakes global data integration project (SAP HANA S4 to Enterprise Databricks). With three consultancies and internal teams operating in silos, the project risked delays, cost overruns, and compliance gaps - critical concerns for a business where data agility directly impacts market responsiveness.
Solution
Oka-Bi deployed its Hardened Target Operating Model (H-TOM) to unify people, process, data, and decision-making frameworks. H-TOM’s transition state modelling engineered a predictable, low-risk pathway for migration, integrating:
-
Enterprise Integration Architecture
-
Solution Architecture & Data Modelling/Lineage
-
Build, Test, and User Acceptance Workflows
-
Ways of Working integrating working practices across 3 International Consultancies + Internal Teams
Result
40% productivity gain compared to prior integrations, achieved through:
-
Faster execution (reduced redundancy, automated testing)
-
Lower risk (real-time compliance, unified governance)
-
Scalable replication (blueprint for future markets)
Why This Matters to Executives
Global Scalability
H-TOM’s framework enabled seamless rollout across jurisdictions.
Risk Mitigation
Automated compliance (GDPR, UK DPA) and unified testing reduced operational risk.
Cost Efficiency
Eliminated 40% of redundant effort, cutting project costs.
Speed to Value
40% faster integration = accelerated time-to-market for data-driven initiatives.
