Dynamics 365 Finance

Consolidated Financial System for Higher Efficiency

Using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance business application to consolidate the financial systems of two large divisions, the Thinkmax implementation is part of Entertainment One’s global financial transformation to better support their international business model.

Entertainment One Ltd. (eOne) is a talent-driven independent studio that specializes in the development, acquisition, production, financing, distribution and sales of entertainment content. As part of global play and entertainment company Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS), eOne's expertise spans across film and television production and sales; production, distribution and brand management of kids and family properties; digital content; and immersive and live entertainment. Through its extensive reach and scale, and a deep commitment to high-quality entertainment, eOne unlocks the power and value of creativity. eOne brings to market both original and existing content, sourcing IP from Hasbro’s portfolio of 1500+ brands, and through a diversified network of creative partners and eOne companies.

 

By enabling the development, production, marketing, and distribution of world class content, eOne carries out their mission of sharing bold stories with a global audience. They needed to consolidate their two largest divisions and are progressing through a financial transformation project to implement processes and technology solutions that will enable them to create a more efficient, integrated, and productive finance organization that better supports their global commercial business model. Applying the Thinkmax Rethink proven methodology, we took a three-phased approach to the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 to create a unified Finance and Operations solution that will encompass 313 eOne companies across three categories.

We consolidated their core accounting, investment, distribution, internal and external reporting streams, aligned systems and processes to better support the commercial activities of the Film and Television division, increased spend visibility and control, improved the efficiency of their order review process, and centralized and streamlined their workflow and approval process.  Overall, the Thinkmax implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 gave eOne greater visibility on the status of their financials, and helped them establish a strong foundation for future growth so they can focus on doing what they do best, sharing bold stories with audiences worldwide.
