Chart Insights, one of the AI Insights capabilities that utilizes Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing to provide enhanced business awareness.  Chart Insights extends the important details contained within dashboards, and analyzes the complete dataset behind the dashboard, automatically surfacing the data relationships not obvious in dashboard visualizations alone. It then provides a summary of key performance metrics found buried within Prophix charts.  It also summarizes the important insights in plain English.
Prophix One Financial Planning & Analysis: Prophix's self-serve dashboards and visualizations are directly integrated with data, workflow tasks, announcements, and external URLs and databases. Dashboard Studio helps users to be informed and make better business decisions.

Prophix’s Workflow Manager, used to assign tasks to users and facilitate approvals across the business.  Stakeholder input can be captured directly with the ability to add comments and notes in a single unified database.
Cell Comments, that allow users to add supporting details like notes and attachments to data.  Since comments are stored with the data, they can be viewed in any template along with their trailing history. Cell Comment Reports can also be generated to show all comments from any data view in one convenient report.
Prophix One Account Reconciliation: Software that streamlines financial close, empowering the Office of the CFO to make data-informed decisions. The centralized platform ensures an efficient process for reconciling dispersed data.
Prophix One Financial Consolidation: Developed to meet the unique requirements for a streamlined month-end close process. Leveraging best practices, it removes the complexity of consolidation by automating processes like multi-currency translations and sub–consolidation, ensuring multi-GAAP and IFRS compliance to reduce the need for expensive customizations. Regardless of group structure, depth, or unique chart of accounts, Prophix can execute complex account consolidations.
Prophix One Intercompany Management: Eliminates manual data collection hassles and errors involving multi-entities and multi-currencies by integrating disparate data sources into Prophix One and automatically structuring the data to elevate financial accuracy. By automating data imports and using intelligent data mapping with built-in validation rules, Prophix One ensures a smooth and reliable data collection process.

Prophix Continues to Shine

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Prophix to complete our annual budget including personnel planning (salary & benefits) as well as capital expenditures. We also complete quarterly actual vs budget reporting on a cost center basis in order to validate expenditures and budget alignment and analysis. Using the Row notes on this report allows us to download the report and summarize the responses.

  • The data storage and retrieval (drill across manager) makes variance analysis simple through having the data all in one location.

Cons

  • I always struggle with the name sets and verifying that we have the right time values for the cubes. I am always afraid that I will lose data if I don't have them set correctly.

Return on Investment

  • Budgeting is a simple task once the end users enter the information. It is easy to update or edit and get real time updates based on changes.
  • It definitely sped up the Budgeting Process.
