KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Mar. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

    - Hitachi Solutions Asia Pacific deployed Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply

Chain Management to streamline ADA's financial processes and support its

digital transformation initiatives to boost business expansion.

    Hitachi Solutions Asia Pacific (HSAP), a leading provider of global

industry solutions powered by Microsoft Azure, is delighted to highlight its

successful D365 Finance and D365 Supply Chain Management (SCM) implementation

with Axiata Digital Advertising (ADA).

    ADA is a Malaysia-based data and artificial intelligence company known for

developing and executing integrated digital, analytics, and marketing solutions

with operations across ASEAN and South Asia. To help ADA achieve its strategic

growth in the region, they realized the need to replace their legacy ERP

systems.

    Previously using Dynamics NAV on-premises, the company has long outgrown

the capabilities of the platform and had to heavily customize it just to suit

their business needs. Other legal entities were also using different legacy

systems or manual operations. ADA partnered with HSAP to implement D365 Finance

and SCM across 11 legal entities in 9 countries within South and Southeast

Asia. HSAP developed a global template and rolled out the new system in a big

bang approach unifying ADA's business financial practices into one platform.

    Dynamics 365 Finance helped enable its users to seamlessly work on their

day-to-day activities and has improved financial consolidation and month-end

close processes. ADA is now able to complete closing faster as compared to the

previous 12 to 15 days after month-end close, audit requirements are satisfied.

Utilizing Azure cloud, ADA plans to further expand their use of D365 Finance

and SCM as they gear for business expansion, both in terms of geography and

scope of business.

    "Dynamics 365 armed us with all the necessary capabilities to help simplify

our operations and eliminate manual processes across our entities," said

Stephen Tan, ADA's Head of Program Management. "Our partnership with Hitachi

Solutions Asia Pacific and Microsoft enabled us to remain competitive in this

rapidly evolving industry landscape by helping us better serve our clients

while empowering our employees in utilizing a powerful cloud ERP platform."

This deployment displayed HSAP's established partnership with ADA by swiftly

delivering value through its best practices and expertise despite the pandemic.

The project also marks a huge milestone for HSAP as this is its first

implementation in the advertising industry and the team's first ERP project in

newly touched base regions such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, and South Korea.

    "Our team is thrilled to support ADA in digitizing its financial processes

with D365 which resolved its business pains in the best way possible," said

Bimal Pandya, Vice President of Hitachi Solutions Asia Pacific. "With this

successful implementation, we continue to provide ADA impactful guidance in

helping its operation thrive towards transformation."
