Carve-Out of a Mining ERP Systems To Support the Transfer of the Business To A New Owner

The Situation

X-PM’s executive interim manager was brought in to take on the role of Interim CTO to manage the carve-out of a mining ERP finance systems. A very challenging and time critical project in an extremely difficult location.

Our client was part of a large mining corporation based in South America. The original owner divested the New Caledonia mining operations to a consortium.

The mine is remote, in a challenging environment and our client required an experienced CTO to manage the carve-out of the financial and operational systems. The new consortium owners required this project to be completed as quickly as possible so they could continue to operate independently.

The Solution

X-PM was able to put in place an executive interim manager who is experienced in the mining industry, with the specific mining ERP systems knowledge and who had managed similar carve-out projects.

X-PM’s interim manager scoped the project and built a transformation strategy. Due to the Covid situation our manager started to run the project remotely and as soon as possible moved onsite to tightly manage stakeholders, processes and procedures.

The Result

The project is challenging and is still ongoing. However, the client is extremely pleased with the progress and the results so far.

This is a classic example of where X-PM can find the right person for a very difficult situation.
