An enterprise performance management software handling financial processes like budgeting, forecasting, and reporting.
We have three major divisions and they all have different disparate systems so we’re able to use a software like Tagetik to consolidate them and bring reporting into one place. You’re just getting one point of truth.
Before, we were on Hyperion Enterprise and then when we went looking for a replacement, we ended up with Tagetik. Obviously being able to easily load from different disparate GL systems and use the data entry form to load data as well allows us to quickly and easily get the data in the database and then we can move on and start the report. The number one reason we went with them because everything was combined into one system. Number two, the customer service that Tagetik has offered has been very helpful. The web-based application to allow remote users to easily connect and use the system (which was not something we had with Hyperion).
Our best look scenario was basically taking and combining our actuals and the most current forecast or plan and building up a scenario instead of doing a forecast every month like a rolling forecast. It was taking me a minimum of two days, sometimes up to three days to complete it once we had all the financials done from the book. We were able to build using the tools within Tagetik to bring that two to three days down to fifteen minutes. It’s saved an enormous amount of time.
We can run Tagetik as we go through the month so the business units are done earlier are from the whole company. So they can run it at day two or day three and they’ll have their best look all ready for them and they don’t have to wait for day five when I’m running it.
