Process & Systems Transformation (PST) project is one of several major, multi‑year initiatives under oneRTX that align to our goals as a company and optimize how we work, how we operate and how we deliver to our customers so that we can achieve our full potential.

The intent of oneRTX: PST is to harmonize 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 across the businesses, real‑time visibility into critical data, and automation of manual tasks to enable all employees to focus on value‑add activities.
