Boehringer Ingelheim gains significant cost savings from Microsoft Dynamics AX

Boehringer Ingelheim Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation A world-leading pharmaceutical company selects Microsoft Dynamics® AX for its “common setup and common server” at half the projected total cost of ownership (TCO) over the competition’s solution

Headquartered in Ingelheim, Germany, Boehringer Ingelheim is one of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the world. Founded in 1885 by the Boehringer family, the company has annual revenue of £4.8billion (USD) and 32,000 employees in 60 countries.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE FOR Pharmaceutical Company

The solution being used by the Boehringer Ingelheim divisions in the Nordic countries (including Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway) lacked support for real-time planning, purchasing, and decision making. Consequently, they started to look for a new ERP solution in 1999. While the company headquarters was using SAP, the Nordic countries chose Microsoft Dynamics AX with a “common setup and common server.” This solution had a projected cost of less than half the cost of SAP and a total operational cost of £1,680 per user, which was much lower than a distributed solution.

ERP SOLUTION

Microsoft Dynamics AX provides global functionality, integration across the business, improved processes, ease of use, and easy customisations.
