Fonterra Co-operative Group is a leading multinational dairy company owned by 11,600 New Zealand dairy farmers. Its global supply chain connects shareholders' farms in New Zealand to customers and consumers in 140 countries. Fonterra needed a financial system that could increase efficiency across its rapidly expanding operations. Oracle's Hyperion Financial Management enables Fonterra's global employees to save results to a centralized database - eliminating the need to email files. With Hyperion, Fonterra creates multiple budget and forecast scenarios that help project and enhance future performance. Moreover, with Hyperion, all employees are now working on the same system, looking at the same data, at the same time.
