Summary
Asda, the UK's third-largest supermarket, reported that its technology separation from Walmart cost £1.22 billion — significantly higher than the initial £800 million estimate. The four-year project involved building a new SAP ERP system and migrating to a standalone IT infrastructure using SaaS from digital partners. The separation caused financial disruptions and delays, but Asda says the program will improve operating efficiencies and data usage.
