Lincoln Electric met the challenges of Y2K head-on. The legacy systems of this industrial equipment player, with more than 100 years in the business, needed to meet the requirements of a new millennium. Lincoln Electric tapped Accenture to help it replace the legacy system with SAP R3, i2, Catalyst, and several other bolt-on applications. The SAP implementation not only solved the short-term Y2K problems but also helped to become more responsive to customers.
