A HAZARDOUS WASTE - ISRAEL CHEMICALLIMITED’S SAP IMPLEMENTATION

July 2, 2019

Israel Chemical Limited (ICL) is an Israel-based chemical company with global operations. The company grew by leaps and bounds through acquisitions and embarked on an ambitious program to deploy a common SAP-based operating template across its three operating units. The initial program definition indicated a project cost of approximately $120M USD, but ultimately the expected costs of the program ballooned to $500M and the program was stopped before any major implementation began.  What followed was a write-off of $290M in project costs, the resignation of the CEO, and a freshly minted lawsuit against IBM filed in an Israeli district court.
