Elders Modernizes Agribusiness Operations and Sustainability

Elders, a leading Australian agribusiness, entered a five-year partnership with Microsoft to underpin technology modernization, customer engagement, and business growth. The project focuses on replacing legacy SAP ERP systems with Microsoft Dynamics 365, integrated with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 productivity solutions. By utilizing Dynamics 365, Elders will automate finance, supply chain, and commerce functions, leveraging AI and analytics for better business insights and decisions. The cloud migration facilitates agile integration of new business acquisitions and improves scalability across the organization. Power BI will be deployed for advanced analytics and reporting to empower Elders employees. Robust cybersecurity measures are achieved through Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, enhancing security posture. The transformation supports Elders' commitment to halving Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, driving sustainability as a business priority. Publicis Sapient served as an advisory and implementation partner throughout the process, offering digital strategy and agribusiness expertise.
