Maybe co-existence and collaboration of multiple systems is the answer#C14LV5Global FootprintMultiple Language and Character Sets Time ZonesCompliance Footprint EBS-Tax configuration Secondary / MRC LedgersLocalizations Technical Footprint Global Instance capabilitiesPatching without interrupting operations (12.2)ERP Functionality has greatly improved We can technically run a multi-national system across the globe ..#C14LV6A global organization has multiple operational models to combine them into a single configuration is complex. This has to square with operational efficiency. Efficiency demands simplicityBut ..
