Situation Before Fixed Assets Cloud Implementation

The client, an industry-leading manufacturer of building products and innovative solutions, had been relying on a 30-year-old legacy mainframe system and associated “offline” reporting and analytics features for managing assets. The organization needed to reduce the manual maintenance and operations associated with its aging mainframe system and business processes for the recording and reporting of fixed assets.

The client sought to implement a modern cloud fixed assets management solution with full integration with its financial and project accounting functions on eBusiness Suite. The primary objectives of this engagement were to optimize business processes associated with the management of fixed assets and to ensure scalability with 30,000+ assets.

Partnering with AST helped a leading manufacturer retire a 30-year-old mainframe system with no business disruption. The modern, integrated cloud financials solution with built-in asset management provides comprehensive reporting across assets, valuation, and depreciation.
