PROFESSIONAL ADVANTAGE INFOR SUNSYSTEMS EVENTS

90% of spreadsheets used in corporate planning contained significant errors.

The pressure on the finance team to produce accurate budgets and comprehensive projections of future trading has never been greater. The increased burden of rules
and governance guidelines reinforces the need for robust systems of internal control.

Finance must "sharpen the edges" of planning, forecasting and analysis to enhance business agility and achieve performance predictability.

IT Managers are tasked with pulling information together fromdisparate sources across the organisation. This can be a significant challenge and an impediment to reliable management reporting. They require a "single source of truth" in data, while leveraging existing IT investments.

People relying on manual processes and spreadsheets can never meet these demands within safe limits of risk, cost and timeliness. Instead, organisations need to consider solutions that manage, monitor and report on corporate performance in a consistent manner.

Why attend? Are you…

• Struggling with spreadsheet proliferation?
• Having trouble managing the budget &/or reporting cycles in a timely manner?
• Dealing with serious issues of data fragmentation, inconsistency
  and consolidation?

• Having difficulty aligning the budget &/or performance reporting to
  corporate strategy?
• Experiencing performance and scalability problems with your current methods?

Do your business processes flow smoothly?....
Or does the baton get dropped?

It’s not just you – it really is getting harder to outpace the other guys!

And we ’re all expected to do it with fewer resources at a lower cost.
Will your processes last the distance?

Business Process Management (BPM) is increasingly being seen as one of the most valuable IT investments an organisation can make. BPM provides the “glue” between your people and the disparate software applications that may operate across your departments and locations – it replaces manual steps and uncoordinated manual
hand-offs with highly visible and enforceable business processes which are tailored to suit your unique business.

“The link between technology and competition has become much stronger since the
mid 1990’s…..

To survive, or better yet thrive, in this competitive environment the mantra for any
CEO should be ‘Deploy, Innovate, and Propagate’. First, deploy a consistent technology platform. Then separate yourself from the pack by coming up with better ways of working. Finally, use the platform to propagate these business innovations widely and reliably. In this regard, deploying IT serves two distinct roles – as a catalyst for innovative ideas and as an engine for delivering them.”
Harvard Business Review (July 2008)

BPM helps achieve your business objectives by providing a consistent ‘process’ layer across the organisation and embedding best practice.

BPM enables:

• Increased Productivity (efficient & effective processes)
• Reduced Costs (automation, eliminate duplication)
• Continuous quality & service improvement (competitive advantage)
• Greater Agility to react to business changes (analysis, innovation)
• Controls & Compliance (regulatory, risk, audit, visibility)
• Consistency (reliable, best practice outcomes)
• Leveraging your existing IT investments (business alignment,
not systems replacement)
