CASE STUDY
Standardizing EPM Deployment Across an Evolving Global Portfolio
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY | LIFE SCIENCES | DIAGNOSTICS | ONESTREAM
Background
Danaher is a global science and technology company operating across biotechnology, life sciences, and diagnostics. Its dynamic portfolio continually acquires, integrates, reorganizes, and spins off businesses, requiring financial consolidation and reporting systems that can absorb complexity without slowing the organization.
15+
REPEATABLE DEPLOYMENTS
______
A common transition framework applied across operating companies
Challenge & Approach
When CFO Solutions first engaged with Danaher in 2012, it needed a repeatable way to deploy HFM across operating companies while balancing corporate consistency with local statutory, reporting, tax, currency, and business requirements.
CFO Solutions created a reusable blueprint for consolidation, reporting, metadata, data integration, ownership, and onboarding. As Danaher transitioned to OneStream, we converted years of institutional knowledge into a modern framework that supports acquisitions, portfolio changes, and spin-offs without treating each deployment as a standalone project.
Value Delivered
Danaher gained a proven EPM model that has been applied more than 15 times, creating a more predictable path for onboarding operating companies and maintaining trusted consolidated results. The common framework scales with portfolio change while preserving appropriate local flexibility. CFO Solutions continues to support OneStream expansion and help spin-offs establish, transition, or mature their own EPM capabilities.
