Connected finance across a global communications business.

01 / Customer experience

Situation

Speedcast, a global leader in high-speed communication networks, operates in over 40 countries with more than 40,000 active remote sites. Managing financial operations for 109 subsidiaries across different tax regimes presented a significant challenge.

Each subsidiary used various applications such as Coupa and Kibo, while Navision 2017 served as the core finance system. The lack of integration led to fragmented data, inefficiencies, and reconciliation issues.

The challenge

Multiple disconnected systems created data silos, making reconciliation difficult.

Manual movement of data increased errors and delayed reporting.

109 subsidiaries required heavy effort to consolidate financial data.

Lack of uniform processes led to inconsistencies across regions.

Managing multiple systems increased IT overhead and complexity.
