Animal biogenetics company Genus has enjoyed rapid growth, both organically and through acquisition, expanding from the UK to the US and Asia. A decision was made to enhance the global finance function, operating models, processes and reporting methods that weren’t suitable for its aspirations.
Genus wanted to optimise its existing finance function, while adding the ability to scale up quickly with future growth and expansion. To get on track, Genus took the important step of implementing a new cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology platform: Microsoft Dynamics 365. During the implementation Genus realised that technology was just one ingredient in a successful transformation.
