Whilst finance objectives remain the same
Do you have the right technology to support your objectives ?
Ensure regulatory
compliance and effective
risk management
Deliver superior

As a CFO, you are struggling with ...
“Financial decisions based on incomplete, inaccurate and often outdated information
So we might miss our financial objectives and not manage risk and compliance issues properly”
“Inability to access detailed financial information across all business dimensions
So we cannot identify new opportunities to optimize our financial performance”
“Time-consuming financial analysis and reporting processes with high volumes of data
So we have delays in the completion of our period-end closings”

Boost performance with complete and up-to-date data

their planning processes

having improved access
to information; this shows
in-memory as a potential
displacer for traditional
OLAP-based planning.

Better utilize your data to gain a competitive advantage
Base decisions on the latest, granular
multi-structured data
Make decisions on analytics rather than
intuition
Frequently reassess forecasts and plans
Utilize analytics to support a spectrum
of strategic, operational, and tactical
decision making
Rapidly evaluate alternative scenarios
Leading businesses can outpace the competition because they can:
How well do you leverage your own data ?
