When BMC set out to modernize its business systems, the challenge wasn’t just moving from a 20-year-old homegrown ERP billing system; it was enabling a fundamental business model shift from perpetual licenses to SaaS subscriptions, while adding the agility to respond to new go-to-market strategies and complex global billing requirements. In this fireside chat, ERP Today brings together Ron Clegg, VP, Revenue Office at BMC, Dave Crowell, Partner at PwC, and Rob Newnes-Smith, Zuora Advisor and former CTO for Digital & Employee Tech at Thomson Reuters, to unpack how BMC reimagined its quote-to-revenue process. Together, they explore: - Sequencing monetization transformation ahead of ERP change to accelerate agility and time-to-market. - Delivering a “heart-lung transplant” program from CPQ through revenue, consolidating 48+ systems into a unified platform. - The role of strong process design, change management, and the right partner in ensuring success. - How these choices reflect a growing market shift toward hybrid revenue models, global billing, and integrated professional services. Whether you’re a CIO, CFO, or a Transformation Leader, you’ll leave with lessons on deciding core vs. non-core systems, managing large-scale change, and building the agility to support hybrid revenue models, without waiting for a multi-year ERP rollout.

DuPont, a global Fortune 500 leader in science and innovation, faced a complex and fragmented IT landscape after years of mergers, divestitures, and organizational change. The challenges of maintaining 17 separate legacy SAP systems, primarily for compliance purposes, were becoming unsustainable. The operational costs involved in supporting these obsolete systems were escalating, systems faced increased cybersecurity exposure, outdated hardware was causing energy inefficiencies, new global compliance requirements needed to be met, and the amount of technical debt had resulted in an overall lack of IT agility. To address these challenges, DuPont launched a bold initiative: retire all 17 legacy SAP systems and archive more than 50 terabytes of historical data, including hundreds of ADK and archival files, without compromising compliance, auditability, or business continuity. Together with Accenture and powered by JiVS Information Management Platform (IMP) from Data Migration International, the company achieved results few believed possible.
