What are some key considerations in ensuring an efficient and successful global rollout of Manufacturing...

n: When planning a global rollout of Manufacturing Cloud, some key considerations are:

Manufacturers may have one or many versions of core systems like an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) that will require integrations and design considerations that vary. Manufacturing Cloud can integrate with existing ERP systems and Order Management Systems (OMS) by using APIs, the MuleSoft Accelerator for Manufacturing, or other middleware solutions1. However, different versions of ERP systems may have different data models, business processes, and security requirements that need to be taken into account when designing and implementing the integrations2.

There are language requirements, legal variation by geography, and cultural differences. Manufacturing Cloud supports multiple languages and currencies, but it also needs to comply with the local laws and regulations of each country or region where it operates1. For example, there may be different tax rules, privacy policies, or data protection standards that affect how Manufacturing Cloud handles and stores customer data3. Additionally, there may be cultural differences in how customers and partners communicate, negotiate, and collaborate, which may require adjustments in the user interface, workflows, and analytics of Manufacturing Cloud4. References: Considerations for Working with Manufacturing, What Is Manufacturing Cloud?, Salesforce Blog: Manufacturing Cloud, Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud: enabling customer centricity for manufacturers
