Case Study: 14 West achieves financial transformation and faster global growth with Capgemini

14 West drives growth with financial transformation

14 West, a Baltimore-based business-services firm supporting media and publishing companies, needed to modernize a 20-year-old accounting system that was slowing growth and forcing manual consolidation work in Excel. As its client base expanded internationally, the company needed a financial platform with multi-currency, multi-lingual, and localization capabilities, and it chose NetSuite with Capgemini as the implementation partner.

Capgemini implemented NetSuite in two phases in 2019, first domestically and then for international operations, automating manual processes and integrating financial, time-and-expense, procure-to-pay, and reporting tools. The result was a global solution that reduced 14 West’s monthly close time by 40%, improved reporting speed and transparency, simplified accounting and tax processes, and reduced IT support needs by moving financial applications to the cloud.
