Abstract
DOMISOL is a Dutch industrial group located in Amsterdam, specialized in manufacturing and selling cheeses. However, DOMISOL has encountered several difficulties since two years, having to cope with global competition and losses of market shares. The regional dairy cooperatives had to decide last year to share more than half of the capital with an outsider : UT Partners. The new incomer imposed several dramatic changes. One of them was the implementation of an Integrated Financial Management Information System - named GMF - which was supposed to replace in a near future all the existing sub-systems.
