A former subsidiary of Arrium, Moly-Cop, needed to migrate from SAP BPC to a new consolidation system within a very short time frame. With offices located in South and North America, as well as Australia and Indonesia, the system needed to be globally accessible on a unified platform, timely and easy to use. Duke led the first OneStream implementation in Australia to deliver the project in just over four months and 25% under budget.

This HK satellite telecoms group needed to move from Excel to a more sophisticated BI tool to support their rapid growth. Duke designed and built an IFRS compliant consolidation and revenue analysis solution using Board’s BFC product. For most entities this was integrated with Speedcast’s ledgers to allow drill back to transactions. For smaller entities a CSV load process was built.
