1C:Perform

An international gaming and IT holding, operating with approximately 30 legal entities worldwide, faced the challenge of modernizing its corporate accounting and financial management system following a change in ownership. 

The previous solution was based on well-known German software, but the group decided to migrate to 1C:Perform — a system designed for international markets, providing the necessary flexibility for a multi-entity, multi-country business. The organization has around 50 key system users across its global structure.

Challenges

The key objective was a rapid and seamless migration from the German software-based system to 1C:Perform, minimizing business disruption while enhancing process transparency and control.

Before implementing the 1C:Perform, the company faced several challenges:

Due to the limitations of the existing software, which no longer met the company’s evolving needs for scalability, customization, and cost-efficiency, a decision was made to change the CPM system.
Ensuring compliance with IFRS across multiple jurisdictions, including specialized requirements like national accounting standards in the Netherlands.
Consolidating IFRS reporting for all group companies in a timely and accurate manner.
Managing treasury processes effectively across a complex structure of diverse legal entities.
Implementing detailed budget control and enabling cost and investment tracking at the project level, especially critical for gaming development projects with long lifecycles and significant upfront investments.
Integrating with JIRA to enable seamless linkage between financial records and project management data, ensuring accurate reflection of development costs and investment performance per game.
Providing comprehensive contract management integrated into financial workflows.
Deploying a scalable system to support both current operations and future strategic initiatives.
