Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 22, 2023 — Mindset, the global leader in pairing extreme useability with SAP and other advanced technologies, announces four companies: CNH Industrial, Ecolab, Entegris, and Xcel Energy as the winners of the 2023 EXperts Awards.
“The EXperts Awards were launched to recognize organizations that have placed an emphasis on building not just powerful solutions but also useable ones,” said Gavin Quinn, Founder and CEO of Mindset. “Since our founding, our focus has been to help make people’s lives significantly better and more productive at work by enabling and introducing technology solutions that are both robust and human-centered. These awards celebrate organizations that emphasize that.”
This year’s awards recognized projects that made impacts on their users in an array of ways:
CNH Industrial: Most Innovative for the SAP BTP POC Initiative Accepting the award from CNH was CIO Mark Kermish. “CNH Industrial is trying to build its roadmap off of our legacy SAP ECC and we didn’t have a good understanding of what aspects of SAP BTP we should be considering. Mindset’s approach to exploration and discovery helped us uncover use cases where we could derive value for our business. Once we identified those use cases, Mindset helped us to successfully deliver our first POC’s into the environment to demonstrate the value to our business, while helping our IT to learn more about the platform throughout the process.”
Ecolab: Best Design Thinking Execution for the OTC Institutional Stability Project. Accepting the Award were Aaron Gardiner, Vice President, Global Transformation, Ecolab, and Ryan Reichenbach, Commercial Financial Leader Institutional, North America for Ecolab.
“We want to thank Mindset for this amazing partnership! The OTC project has had such a positive impact on our customers and field organization, driving an improved customer experience. We continue to improve our processes with Mindset with a focus on the customer and the team! Thank you for making it happen and most importantly for the continued support to our global enterprise!, ” said Aaron Gardiner, Vice President, Global Transformation, Ecolab. Added Ryan Reichenbach, “Ecolab is honored to hold the award for best design thinking execution. Our partnership with Mindset has continued to grow, and this award proves that great progress is being made. Without Mindset’s design thinking and collaboration, we would not be as far along on our FIORI journey.”
Entegris: Most Innovative UX for their Plant of the Future Project, which was accepted by Don Knutson, CIO for Entegris. “I want to thank Mindset for their partnership that enabled Entegris to win the Most Innovative UX for their Plant of the Future Project award. What is the “plant of the future?” It is Entegris’ vision of eliminating pens and paper on this plant floor, meaning automate all data collection and automate all transactions using mobile devices. The first place we turned was a joint workshop with Mindset. In a very short timeframe, the combined Entegris and Mindset teams design a solution Fiori mobile apps utilizing tablets. The solution simplified the SAP transactions and allowed the users to do the transactions real-time right-where-there-are? So how is it going? Very well, as we have completed a proof of concept at one of our Minnesota plants and plan to go ‘prime time’ at our new Asia plant was will be going live in 2H’23.”
Xcel Energy Best UX for EX for outstanding employee experience in their Cloud Field Service Project which was accepted by Joe Peichel, Enterprise Architect for Xcel. “Xcel Energy is proud to be recognized by Mindset Consulting for our efforts to transform the user experiences we deliver to our front-line workers and is happy to join the other esteemed award recipients being recognized during the EXpert event.
