The oneRTX: Process & Systems Transformation (PST) project is a major, multi-year initiative aimed at harmonizing processes, tools, and metrics across RTX while deploying a common enterprise resource management platform—SAP’s S/4 HANA. The result will be a common user experience, real-time visibility into critical data, and automation of manual tasks to enable employees to focus on value-add activities.
