Scribe Software and West Pharmaceutical Case Study

West Pharmaceutical first deployed the Microsoft Dynamics® CRM platform to integrate customer

and material master data from multiple ERP systems into a global CRM system. The next key

technical challenge related to the company’s two SAP® ERP instances—one for North America and

one for Europe/Asia. The systems relied on different data schemes, and West needed to ensure

data from both could flow into the new CRM platform—where internal personnel could then access

a harmonized view of all company activity. West also needed to tie in data from its two customer

complaint systems—TrackWise® by Sparta Systems and SAP®.

COMPLEX INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRES AUTOMATIC MAPPING West partners with thousands of customers

for whom it provides thousands of different

products. With so many customers separated

into hierarchical sub-accounts, connecting data

between Microsoft Dynamics® CRM, SAP® ERP,

and TrackWise® presented a complex integration

task. West efficiently solved the challenge

through Scribe and SAP Process Integration (PI).

SAP PI receives data from both SAP® ERP systems

and TrackWise®. Scribe connects with SAP PI and

automatically maps the data to the appropriate

data fields within Microsoft Dynamics® CRM.

SCRIBE SOFTWARE STREAMLINES THE DATA FLOW PROCESS Scribe provides West with all the required

integration functionality, including an interface

that checks all the entities in Microsoft Dynamics®

CRM and automatically connects each entity

with the data from the two SAP® ERP systems. By

routing the ERP data first through SAP PI, West

can then leverage Scribe to map the data through

one master set. Scribe immediately transferred

all historical customer and product data for

West and now efficiently processes 250 delta

record changes on average per day, without any

intervention from internal resources.
