Cloud Solution Takes the Reins of Financial Management
The heart of German film and TV industry beats in Geiselgasteig, near Munich, where Bavaria Film GmbH is headquartered. This versatile company operates across four business units: Content, focusing on the development and production of content; Rights & Distribution, dealing with the exploitation and distribution of rights; Studios & Services, providing technical production services; and Real Estate, which involves the operation and management of studio and office properties. With around 1,500 full-time and freelance employees spread across the group and its ten operating companies, Bavaria Film boasts a diverse and closely interconnected business landscape. This complexity presents a particular challenge in intercompany reconciliation. To streamline its financial processes, the management decided to transition to the cloud.
