1. Oakville Hydro – Prophix story
Situation:
Company background: As a trusted utility, Oakville Hydro Electricity Distribution Inc., a subsidiary of Oakville Hydro Corporation, has been providing electricity distribution and asset management for the residents of Oakville for over 106 years.

Website:
Industry: Utilities (power utilities)
Head office: Oakville, Ontario, Canada
G/L or ERP: Microsoft Dynamics GP
Business issue:
This is a great win for Prophix and BDO as this has been a long sales cycle. In the end were able to land the deal by displaying great ROI and end user functionality. The business users appreciated the office of finance managed component along with the out of the box complete CPM functionality. Pain points: budgeting, planning, and reporting.
Why did they select Prophix?
Prophix provided the greatest ROI for an on premise solution with ease of use for the administering business\finance users.
How will they be using Prophix?
Initially for Budgeting and reporting and financial consolidations in phase 2
Future plans: Oakville Hydro will take phased implementation approach and have already a planned roadmap for future phases and functionality adoption and roll out.
