As a growing auto parts distributor, Federal-Mogul needed a scalable solution that could be deployed globally for financial consolidation and reporting, budgeting and analysis. They needed a system that delivered faster consolidations, easier maintenance and more powerful management reporting. Federal-Mogul wanted to give relevant management reporting to the OEM and aftermarket businesses, including operational HR data. Upgrading Hyperion would be a lengthy and expensive undertaking, so Federal-Mogul decided to look elsewhere, and was immediately interested in OneStream Software. Read More
