Case in point:

Global food company aggregates data from 19 SAP systems in 10 countries and languages
	A global food leader had spend scattered across 19 SAP systems in 10 countries and in 10 languages. They had no way to pull this together and get a comprehensive view of their spending. Emptoris partnered with them to aggregate, normalize, and cleanse the spend data from all these source systems. Over the course of a 90-day FastTrack implementation, the following was achieved:
1.2 million transactions representing $1.9 billion in spend was aggregated 64,000 vendors were grouped and consolidated into to 32,700 “families” of related companies. Spend was mapped to 14 dimensions (e.g., vendor, commodity, vendor status, geography, etc.) 95% of spend was accurately categorized across 400 unique commodity codes and 185,000 uniquely identified items
