G3 Global Implement SAP Financials in France
SAP Financials Enables SonyBMG France to remove legacy systems and improve ROI
14/1/2008 – G3 Global, a company that develops, implements, and supports products and services for SAP in the Media sector, announced today that it has successfully implemented SAP Financials at SonyBMG.
SonyBMG faced the issue of an under-performing Financial system that no longer met the needs of the business and had been announced as end of life.
G3 Global worked closely with the team at SonyBMG to understand the existing and future growth requirements of the business and positioned SAP Financials. The outcome provided SonyBMG with a best of breed financials package in addition to solving their reconciliation and reporting issues. In addition to successfully implementing full SAP Financials within an 8 month period, G3 also provided SonyBMG with a Royalty Ledger system. The “Royalty Ledger” is a unique solution developed by G3 Global and provides a solution to account royalty and cost information to Authors / Rights owners / Artists and any of the related rights sharers in an accurate, auditable and timely manner.
Myriam Bilardu of SonyBMG France commented “We embarked on an SAP implementation project to streamline the back office solutions that were in place at that time and to replace a legacy system by a worldwide recognized ERP system. The key driver for this project was to eliminate and streamline the volume of interfaces and to secure the financial data and processes. The other major benefit was to implement the G3 Global Royalty ledger to manage and account for royalty and cost information for SonyBMG Artists.
G3 Global was given the responsibility for the implementation of the SAP ERP and Royalty Ledger solutions. G3 Global has a strong project methodology that makes use of a prototype of the solution which from initial Blueprint phase of the project immediately helps the business conceptualize and understand the solution to be delivered and this continues through to the final support phase. The G3 Global team forged a strong relationship with the business and was professional and competent in all dealings with business, especially to understand and manage the business specific needs.
G3 Global implemented a strong business solution that met all core business needs and was delivered on time; the solution has already started to show tangible rewards to the business”.
Chris Gunter, Chief Executive Officer, G3 Global commented “SonyBMG are a highly valued customer to G3. Our goal, as with every client, is to understand their requirements and with our skills and knowledge within the team, position the best possible solution. We have a good historic relationship with SonyBMG and fantastic open team work environment which considerably contributed to the success of the project. We are proud of this implementation and the benefits that it has provided the team at SonyBMG”.
The announcement from G3 further compounds their commitment to the Media sector and their pursuit to be synonymous with quality delivery and customer satisfaction.
G3 Global is headquartered in the UK and has existing clients such as SonyBMG, Interpublic (McCann Erickson, Weber Shandwick), JohnsonDiversey, and Leica Microsystems.
