We safeguard your implementation with proven methods that cover all the current SAP BusinessObjects EPM offerings:

  • SAP Strategy Management;

  • Planning, budgeting and forecasting (CAPEX and OPEX);

  • Financial consolidation;

  • Profitability Analysis and Cost Management;

  • Scenario planning and Business modeling;

  • Business planning – budgeting and planning for sales and revenue, capital expenditures, headcount staffing, expenses, and cash flow;

  • Forecasting – rolling forecasts, continuous planning, and collaboration;

  • Financial reporting and analysis – ad hoc reporting and driver analysis by service or product line, region, and team.

We use our Value Explorer™ tool to accelerate the design of your BPC implementation. This simplifies the modeling process and ensures that the right value-drivers are incorporated into your financial model.
