DESCRIPTION
How to convince the (local) business to implement a central BI - system? With more than 50 independent legal entities and t wo divisions, Verder International has to consolidate a large amount of financial information from extremely varied systems every month. With BOARD a management information system was delivered, where each entity can continue using its own ERP and local systems , while consolidating and sharing its information through the head office. The quality of the management information and key performance indica tors (KPIs) was lacking. BOARD prevents that by amassing the financial data in a controlled and secure environment while maintaining a link to the source data . At Verder it is now possible for all to work with the same version of the truth. Now, authorization is managed on a group level. Plus, the programming - free toolkit enables controllers to build advanced financial reports and multidimensional graphic models. All in all, monthly reports are available much faster than before and are always current, complete and reliable. The quality of data has been improved, as BOARD automatically flags errors in the reports. Michiel will explain how he manages financial inform ation with many different local ERP systems and how Verder did prioritize the projects: valuable projects for structural improvement or replacemen t of current method of working.
