APPROACH

Transformation of financial system architecture leads to corporate independence and increased profits

In anticipation of exponential growth and because of an organizational restructuring, Baylor Genetics needed to rapidly find a scalable system solution that would provide consistent data through real-time KPIs, as well as streamline and automate their business processes. Baylor Genetics engaged Bridgepoint Consulting to help select an ERP system, and ultimately manage a digital transformation to meet their rapidly evolving business needs. After selecting NetSuite SuiteSuccess, Bridgepoint managed an accelerated ERP implementation, including architecting the financial application layer, selecting supporting software and handling contract negotiations, migrating data and reporting, and creating and documenting financial processes and internal controls.

We were doing a lot of stuff on spreadsheets; we had people spending a lot of man hours, a lot more than they probably should have for some of the processes they were executing on. When we were trying to decide the professionals that were going to help us lead us through this digital transformation. One of the things we needed was a trusted partner that could help us from beginning to end.
