Despite being one of the world’s largest suppliers of phosphates and potash fertilizer, the Mosaic Company has maintained a single global instance of SAP ERP since 2006. And that’s no small task for a billion-dollar business that operates in more than 40 countries.

An Innovation Foundation

Having a single instance of SAP has not only helped Mosaic streamline its operations—it’s also given the company a solid foundation for adding innovations to the system quickly and with less friction. Michael Crawford, Mosaic’s senior corporate treasury manager, talked to ASUG News about how running a single instance of SAP’s ERP has positioned Mosaic to take advantage of new technologies. He also shares the steps he took to encourage Mosaic’s global workforce to adopt the system.
