Bayer
Due to the company's substantial global presence, enterprise planning and control present a significant challenge for Bayer. Enterprise reporting, for example, must account for heterogeneous system environments, multiple languages, currencies and even time zones. Bayer, therefore, elected to replace its technically obsolete reporting system with a state-of-the-art information system with a client-server architecture and a graphical user-interface.
