3Com

As a result of numerous mergers, each individual business unit had its own discrete information systems. To create a more holistic view of its global operations, 3Com needed to consolidate these systems into a single enterprise-wide reporting infrastructure.

A $1.3 billion provider of enterprise networking solutions, 3Com has grown through multiple mergers and acquisitions — 11 since 1999 alone. As a result, each individual business unit had its own discrete information systems. To create a more holistic view of its global operations, 3Com needed to consolidate these systems into a single enterprise-wide reporting infrastructure.
