Company Unifies and Pays for New Software in Record Time
As a roll-up of acquired companies, Aspen Marketing Services had five divisions operating independently on seven different general ledgers. They were experiencing a close of three to four weeks. When Patrick O'Rahilly became CEO, he brought with him a determination to unify the company. O'Rahilly felt a major step to a unified company was a unified accounting system, and he set an aggressive schedule to implement one.
The company selected Microsoft Business Solutions–Solomon (now Microsoft Dynamics SL) for its strengths in accounting integration, inventory management, and project management. Aspen has reduced month close by 68 percent, reduced inventory by $500,000, and has improved both their management and visibility of projects. These improvements have helped the company increase profitability by 7 percent in the past year; they expect payback from their new solution in nine to 10 months.
