Dover Corporation
Dover’s EBS was complex and required creative thinking to ensure the new software would accommodate functional requirements and solve business problems with out-of-the-box functionality.
Headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, Dover manufactures innovative equipment and components, specialty systems and support services in the energy, engineered systems, fluids, and refrigeration & food equipment industry segments. As a global manufacturer, Dover employs over 26,000 people and has $7 billion in annual revenues.
The Challenges
Hillphoenix, Inc., an operating company of Dover’s, had outdated legacy systems that were costly, overly complex, and customized. To provide a single view of Hillphoenix’s financials was a tremendous extraction and consolidation effort. Moving to a Shared Service model, with Oracle enabling that process, helped to provide a consolidated view of financials in E-Business Suite.
The CSS Approach
Because complexity was an issue with this upgrade, CSS identified areas where the new software could solve business problems or functional requirements. CSS assigned a beginning-to-end dedicated project governance team and approached the project so that the change to the system would have a positive impact on processes and employees.
The Results
CSS helped them implement an out-of-the-box, scalable solution that transformed their business and supported their continued growth. Benefits need to be tweaked towards the benefits of implementing Oracle Financials in a shared service environment. With the solution in place, they were able to lower back-office and materials costs, had better financial processes, and reduced risk by eliminating out-of-date solutions.
What our client says
“We recognized the importance of selecting the right partner for our project. CSS is highly qualified and their sole focus on Oracle solutions were a significant help during implementation.”
