CEOs, CFOs and their financial management teams are looking to
optimize sales and operational budget planning, forecasting, and
consolidation activities to gain critical visibility into changing
business conditions. Too often, financial management teams operate
with diminished capabilities. They invest a lot of time in
compiling information instead of using it. Most often the
information is inconsistent or errant, the process of collecting it
is slow or it's unavailable.
TCS helps leading organizations gain greater insight into their
business planning and consolidation activities. By embracing
Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), a new level of planning
sophistication and agility is possible, transforming a painful data
collection task into an art of strategic decision-making. Companies
can more accurately close the books, shorten budgeting cycles and
satisfy compliance requirements while reacting quickly to changing
production and sales patterns.
Overview
Many organizations face serious challenges in their core
planning and consolidation activities. Planning decisions are often
made without considering supply chain constraints and
profitability. Accurate information is not available, and some
departments fail to provide it at all. More time is spent
assembling the data than planning. Most frequently, the environment
is severely fragmented, with no connection between aggregate and
detail planning, and great difficulties exist in gathering feedback
or sharing data.
TCS' approach to EPM helps organizations overcome these
challenges through:
Increasing EPM maturity to improve business planning and
consolidation outcomes.
Optimizing orchestration of EPM to improve all facets of the
enterprise including management goal setting, sales quantity
revenue planning, direct and indirect cost planning, comprehensive
profitability analysis and key metric measurement.
Leveraging leading EPM practices to optimize key management
functions such as strategy formulation, business planning and
forecasting, financial management and supply chain planning.
Organizations invest in the SAP Business Planning and
Consolidation (BPC) software to improve EPM, but the application is
just the beginning. True EPM excellence requires new processes, new
competencies, improved data quality, and the expertise to bring the
entire program into an optimized, continually improving state.
Our Solution
TCS brings together the consultants, methodologies,
accelerators, and technologies to deliver comprehensive EPM and BPC
transformations. TCS' EPM solution can help you assess your current
environment,
create a strategy and blueprint for a new future state, and then
implement the transformation - inclusive of people, process and
technology. TCS can also help manage and maintain BPC applications
on an ongoing basis. Our services include:
Strategic implementation services including assessments,
planning, blueprint creation, business case development, process
design, technology configuration and integration, value realization
and change management.
Rapid deployment models that enable our clients to quickly
realize capabilities on accelerated timeframes using
industry-leading templates and pre-made configurations.
Service and support solutions that help manage, maintain and
improve the live program over the long term.
Benefits
Organizations who embrace EPM through TCS' BPC competency will
experience new benefits at multiple levels. In terms of new
business outcomes, a high performing EPM function will create
shorter budget cycles, faster closing processes, and improved
regulatory compliance. Executives will be able to make better
decisions based on improved scenario planning and simulation.
Executives, managers and users throughout the enterprise will
collaborate and plan more effectively. Most importantly, they will
have a single, accessible source of the truth, based on which to
make better business plans and superior strategic decisions.
In terms of BPC implementation, organizations will realize a
highly efficient and effective transformation process, achieving
desired IT capabilities at a competitive cost. Our approach
promotes a high ROI and low TCO.
How We Help Our Customers
The approach that TCS uses for implementations combines the best
of traditional approaches and Agile thinking that recognizes the
dynamics of BPC implementations. Our TCS T-PACE (Traceability,
Precision, Agile, Certainty and Efficiency) implementation
methodology is closely correlated to the SAP ASAP Methodology.
Unlike traditional linear approaches, we believe EPM and BPC
require iteration and collaboration between the users and
developers, ensuring that users are integral to the development
process. Our approach during development is an iterative cycle
consisting of design, refine and deliver stages. Users are a
critical part of the creation process as they transform their own
work environment. The results often produce revolutionary changes,
new learning and invention, and a flourishing of new competencies
and capabilities.
A major hi-tech company needed a single platform for data
analytics where the planning and actual results of the data
analysis needed to reside in one EPM system. The company partnered
with TCS for the strategic design, system migration and service and
support of their EPM system. We extended the capabilities of the
initial EPM platform to include BW and BPC on SAP HANA.
This evolution allowed the company to organize substantially
large amounts of data into actionable information reports in
seconds a previously challenging task. With our support, the
company has realized improved business results based on data
analytics.

The TCS Advantage
The core strength of TCS' EPM practitioners lies in our ability
to implement BPC software effectively. We understand the legal and
business structures, data definitions, metrics and detailed
critical information of every aspect of business planning. We also
understand the specific nuances and daily issues planners have and
how to address them. This deep expertise enables us to step beyond
the application and help you transform your EPM activities in ways
that generate new enterprise value.
TCS' BPC practice has over 100 experienced consultants who have
successfully transformed BPC and EPM practices at over a dozen
major enterprises. With our competency lab in North America, we
have developed many accelerators to speed implementations and raise
the value of SAP BPC. Our leading SAP practice is 10,000
consultants strong and includes functional, technical, analytics
and project management experts. We have a unique 360 degree
partnership with SAP, are a frequent product development partner
and have been awarded the Pinnacle Award for four consecutive
