Omnicom Group is a U.S.$11.7 billion holding company with roughly 1,500 agencies located throughout the world. Omnicom wanted to equip its agencies with a standard enterprise resource planning solution and chose Microsoft Dynamics AX based on its ease of use, global availability, project-accounting and financial-reporting capabilities, and ability to be customized for the marketing and advertising industry and Omnicom’s specific requirements.
To help ensure a successful deployment, Omnicom worked with Microsoft Services to set up a global project office that helps manage local implementations, development, and a standard solution template. Omnicom has deployed Microsoft Dynamics AX for agencies around the world to improve their financial processes, gain business insight, and prepare themselves for future growth.
