SABMiller is one of the world's leading brewers, with a turnover of over $25bn (FTSE 20), EBITA of approximately $4bn and a headcount of approx. people. The company has doubled in size twice in the last ten years through an aggressive acquisition strategy, and more consolidation is expected in the industry, in which SABMiller has been a leader. The business is organised in seven divisions: US, Latin America, Europe, South Africa, Africa, Asia and Corporate. In these divisions, there are varying combinations of businesses that we manage directly, joint ventures and associate companies. Each of these regions has a chief executive as well as, currently, a CIO that reports to the CFO in that region. Within each region, there is a Managing Director for each country, the majority of which are stand-alone entities with responsibility for all business disciplines including IT in each country. In addition to this country structure, there is also a small regional hub office IT function with differing responsibilities across the various hubs. There are 15 mostly country-based SAP instances in the Group, while in Africa and Asia there are 11 instances of Syspro. There are over 1000 people in the IT function in total with a spend of approximately $300m.
