Established in 1992, Macquarie Telecom Group has become a major player in the telecommunications industry, offering a wide range of services to its customers.

Macquarie Telecom Group, a leading data center, cloud, cyber security, and telecom company based in Australia, was facing challenges in its financial planning and analysis (FP&A) processes due to significant growth. The company was struggling with disparate data sources across the Office of Finance and the wider business, which made it difficult to standardize financial data. This lack of standardization was hindering the company's ability to gain clear insights to lead planning effectively. The group needed a platform that could add structure and capability to its FP&A processes, enabling it to enhance essential finance functions and gain clarity into its business.

To address these challenges, Macquarie Telecom adopted Board’s Intelligent Planning Platform. This platform was designed to build and deliver solutions that enhance essential finance functions. It provided the structure and capability that Macquarie Telecom needed for its FP&A processes. The platform allowed the company to standardize its financial data, despite the disparate data sources across the Office of Finance and the wider business. With this solution, Macquarie Telecom was able to gain greater insight into its business, which in turn enabled it to lead planning more effectively. The implementation of the platform was done in partnership with Taysols.
