Hubbell Implementing Enterprise-Wide Business System

Hubbell Inc., Orange, Conn., has begun implementing a business systems initiative. The first two phases of the multiyear project — information technology infrastructure assessment and selection of the software package partner — have been completed. SAP software has been chosen to replace the multiple software packages used across Hubbell’s businesses. Completion of the last implementation is expected in 2006. “With this important strategic initiative our information technology will be truly world class,” said Timothy H. Powers, Hubbell’s president and chief executive officer. “This step-change improvement will allow the company to become leaner with better information in our competitive industry and more responsive to our customers.”
