Generally easy through BW, but we have many systems so mapping was a challenge.

  • Single source for data
  • Financial modeling
  • Internal system validations
  • Dashboards
  • Creation of some reports is complex although once done, very easy and user friendly
  • Cycle time
  • Forecast accuracy
  • Headcount reduction
Most of our systems are sap based so it was the natural choice
