An important briefing on what you need to know

We strongly encourage all clients to attend.

Both Infor FMS SunSystems and the underlying IT environments constantly evolve.
As your critical financial system, it is important to have a roadmap to handle changes that may be forced upon you.

The Finance and IT teams will have various options to consider when the time comes
for change. At this briefing you will see some of the choices available to you and the associated benefits of each. The session will help you prepare for change and learn
what small steps can be taken in the short term to lessen the impact.

Join us for this invaluable 90 minute briefing.

Are you being asked to revise forecasts more frequently?

The pressure on the finance team to produce accurate budgets and comprehensive projections of future trading has never been greater.

Finance must “sharpen the edges” of planning, forecasting and analysis to enhance business agility and achieve performance predictability.

IT Managers are also tasked with pulling information together from disparate sources across the organisation. This can be a significant challenge and an impediment to reliable management reporting. They require a “single source of truth” in data, while leveraging existing IT investments.

Why is it so difficult?
Organisations relying on manual processes and spreadsheets can never meet today’s business demands within safe limits of risk, cost and timeliness.

We provide solutions that help you plan, manage, monitor and analyse corporate performance – without the overhead.

Why attend?

• Struggling with spreadsheet proliferation?

• Having trouble managing the budget &/or reporting cycles in a timely manner?

• Dealing with serious issues of data fragmentation, inconsistency and consolidation?

• Want to produce multiple forecast versions (inc. cash-flow impacts) or what if scenario planning?

• Having difficulty aligning the budget &/or performance reporting to corporate strategy?

• Experiencing performance and scalability problems with your current methods?

Infor PM is a leading Performance Management solution including:

• Sophisticated planning and forecasting capabilities that support best practices like continuous budgeting, rolling forecasts and what-if scenario planning.

• Highly configurable, custom reporting (Business Intelligence) for gathering data from multiple sources and distributing management information.

Infor PM enables timely decisions that improve business productivity and profitability - ‘business intelligence’ you can rely on!
