Topic
Business Process Outsourcing: How Philips Successfully Transformed Its Accounting Processes
Speaker
Ronald Eikelenboom, Vice President and CFO, Philips do Brasil Ltda
Infosys partnered with Philips Latin America to implement a global, first-of-its-kind outsourcing
project. Over just a few weeks, both companies formed a partnership to fully leverage the potential
of an existing global contract. Six months after the business case approval, the transition
was completed and Infosys was leading the accounting processes, not only for Brazil but also
for Argentina and Chile, all out of a new Greenfield Operation in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The
project was supported by Infosys, Pune, India. Ronald Eikelenboom will share how they gained
internal support for the project and discuss the critical success factors and challenges faced.
