ByDesign Customers Stories with an Internationalization Strategy

• Before: Manage organic growth plus mergers and acquisitions

leading to a heterogeneous IT landscape that required consolidation

to form a foundation for the future and establish transparency

across the company

• After: Improved processes and streamlined financials, with half

year closing down from 1 month to less than 2 weeks

• Before: Need for transparency and the timely exchange of data and

information among subsidiaries.

• After: Improved business relationship with its Japanese subsidiary,

using the same system and a single source of truth to access and

analyze data
