National Sugar IT leader Jeremy Mayfield explains running fully SaaS and serverless and delivering a new ERP early and under budget.
This You've Been Heard episode features Jeremy Mayfield, who started in IT when it was called MIS and spent most of 30 years in hands-on leadership, including a VoIP program that saved about $11 million in copper at a 90,000-person company.
National Sugar now runs fully serverless and SaaS, with zero trust instead of VPNs.
Its new ERP went live in under 12 months, ahead of a 14-month approval and well under budget, after a year of requirements work, a 90-page RFP to about 10 vendors and a preference for configuration over customization and phased rollout.
