Growing demand for cloud apps

We believe that the right application

strategy for most organizations is a

hybrid (configured) approach that can

accommodate integrated suites, departmental point

solutions and ad hoc custom applications, with a

mix of on-premises and cloud

deployment. – Source: Gartner. Neil Chandler.

Applying Gartner's Pace Layer Model to Business

Analytics. December 2011

Technology platforms, like mobile computing

and the cloud, are secondary in the mind of the

CFO (see Figure 6). We expect this to change in the

2013 study, since the inquiries we received in the first

six months of 2012 from end-user clients show that

these are growing areas of investigation

and potential investment in the finance

organization. – Source: Gartner. John E. Van

Accelerating the “speed of intelligence,” as Ms. Hughes

puts it, is the finance function’s fundamental challenge

“The benefit of being able to push data quickly is if you get the

right data and the right collection of data to the decision maker

more rapidly, you’re going to speed up decisions that change

that outcome…”

— Hazel Hughes, SVP of finance and business

control for the Education Group at Houghton

Mifflin Harcourt, in ―Accelerating the Speed of

Intelligence for Fast and Flexible Forecasting.‖

(CFO Research Services, 2011).

Right data at right time increases organizational agility


Engaging beyond Finance for better results and greater

accountability

“The new devices that are coming on

the market, like the tablets and

iPhones, will enable us to build a

system in the future that will more

easily take advantage of the input

from every employee.”

— Anders Pehrsson, Vice President and Group

Controller, Atlas Copco

“This should not be only the finance

department; people sometimes

believe that budgets or rolling

forecasts are only done by finance. It

should be done by [all] the people

involved.”

— Troy Parwata, Finance Director of Tigaraksa Satria

Demo John Hack

Peter logs on to Expense Insight.

First, he reviews travel expenses.

Peter selects All Expense Types.

Peter selects the Travel Sub-Type..

The information is filtered to display all types of travel expenses. Peter has three options now: He can select Back to go back to the overall total expenses for Travel; He can select the particular travel expense Sub-Type he would like to review, for example Business Travel; He can close the All Expense Types pop-up to see the breakdown of travel expenses (by travel Sub-Type).

Here, Peter has closed the All Expense Types pop-up. He can see the breakdown of all travel expenses

Now Peter decides to review Expense Items so he selects the Expense Items option from the menu.

Each expense item is displayed with some details. Peter reviews the expense item and he checks the total. He can sort (for example by type, date, cost center). He can search for information (for example Travel Emit Smith with show details of all travel expenses for that person). Peter selects the 3rd item (Office Supplies) because it has the exact same details as the 4th item.

All details for the expense item Peter selected are displayed. Peter checks the details and realizes that they are the exact same for both Office Supplies expenses. Peter decides to ask his assistant to investigate this.

Peter adds a comment explaining his concern to his assistant, Caroline.

Peter is curious about the expense item so he selects Additional Information to display the details of the office supplies expense line item.

Peter goes back to Expense Items by selecting Back twice. He selects the travel item for Emit Smith.

He knows Emit moved department since January so there is the potential of wrong expenses. Peter checks Emit’s cost center and he knows it is not correct.

Peter adds a comment for Caroline

Peter logs off.

Caroline logs on to Expense Insight.

Caroline views Expense items (her Home Page) and notices comments for Travel line item and Office Supplies line item (blue icon). Caroline selects the Travel Item for Emit Smith.

Caroline sees Peter's comment.

Caroline responds 'Hi Peter, This is definitely a wrong expense. I will start dispute as it needs to be fixed immediately'

Caroline selects the Dispute icon.

Caroline selects the expense dispute reason as 'Not My Expense'.

Caroline notes that the status of the dispute is Not Resolved (which is accurate). Caroline adds a comment and selects Send Dispute. She sends the dispute to Fred. She expects Fred to check the issue and resolve it. Expense Insight sends an email to Fred about the dispute.

Caroline logs off.

Fred logs on to Expense Insight

Fred's homepage is set as the Expense Disputes page. He notices the dispute submitted by Caroline and selects it.

Fred sees that the dispute is not resolved and he reads the comment from Caroline.

Fred changes the dispute to resolved (after he moves Emit to the correct cost center).

The dispute details show that it was resolved by Fred on April 30, 2012.

Fred logs off.
