Professional Services | 7500 | $2.6B | Denmark | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics AX | ERP Financial | 2014 |
In 2014 Hempel implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX as its ERP Financial platform, engaging Columbus as the system integrator to lead configuration and rollout. Hempel deployed Microsoft Dynamics AX to consolidate and standardize core finance processes across its organization, positioning the application to support corporate finance and accounting functions.
The implementation focused on typical ERP Financial capabilities, including configuration of general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets and financial reporting, alongside period close workflows and control frameworks. Microsoft Dynamics AX was configured to enforce standardized chart of accounts and financial period management, with workflow automation applied to approval and reconciliation processes where appropriate.
Integration architecture for the deployment incorporated Business Integration Solutions for Microsoft Dynamics AX and Connectivity Studio for Microsoft Dynamics AX to enable interface orchestration and data exchange between Microsoft Dynamics AX and other enterprise systems. Connectivity Studio for Microsoft Dynamics AX provided the connectivity layer and integration patterns used to route transactional data and master data between systems, supporting consolidated financial processing.
Governance actions accompanying the rollout established centralized master data governance and formalized financial process ownership to support consistent accounting practices. The program centered on Microsoft Dynamics AX as the ERP Financial system to align Hempel business function finance and accounting operations with standardized application controls and integration-led connectivity.

In 2016, Horizon Discovery, part of Revvity, implemented To-Increase RapidValue as a Business Process Management application to consolidate fragmented process control and provide a single orchestration layer across multiple sites and geographies. The implementation targeted centralized process governance to give the organization structured access and control over end-to-end business workflows.
To-Increase RapidValue was deployed alongside Microsoft Dynamics AX, with implementation services delivered by Columbus, positioning RapidValue as the BPM layer that models and automates workflows, manages approval routing, and maintains process documentation and versioning. Configuration emphasized process modeling, workflow automation, role-based approvals, and process visibility, integrating with Dynamics AX transactional modules to orchestrate core operational workflows.
The operational scope covered company-wide rollout across different sites and geographies, affecting operations, supply chain, finance, and commercial functions. Governance activities included centralizing process ownership, standardizing best-practice process models, and instituting workflow controls and audit trails to enforce consistent execution. The outcome was a fully integrated best practice solution throughout the whole business running over different sites and geographies, improving centralized control and process transparency.
