IMPROVE RECORD TO REPORT (R2R) PROCESS
No matter if you currently publish your consolidated figures on the second, fifth or seventh day of the month, there will always be an incentive to reduce that timeline.
But reducing it by even the slightest margin can be a tremendous task, as the users, systems and processes might already be pushed to their limits.
We have a 3-step approach to help addressing this:
- Identify the bottlenecks and most error prone tasks of the current process, starting with a questionnaire and following up with interviews. This will highlight the parts that need to be addresses
- The points identified in the first step are like the tip of an iceberg, they represent to small visible part of the overall. The root causes of these issues are hidden well below the surface and a lot of digging will be required to identify them. This part is usually done with interviews and analysis in the systems
- Offer improvement suggestions. Technology can help solve some problems, but process improvements are nearly always required on operational, reporting and planning levels
FIND THE BEST SOLUTION TO MATCH YOUR PLANNING AND REPORTING NEEDS
Selecting a new solution can be a complex and overwhelming task. We propose a structured and proven approach to help streamline that task and ensure that you end up with the best solution to address your current and future requirements.
The selection process involves 3 main steps:
- Defining your main requirements
- Short-listing the main candidates
- Selecting the best solution
This may sound simple and straight forward but can easily turn into a complex and very time-consuming task. Creating very long and detailed questionnaire associated with an over-engineered scoring mechanism will give you a short-list, but the same result could be achieved with much less time and efforts.
The final selection process is the key part and you want here to ensure that the solution will deliver on it’s promises. Here the golden rule is seeing is believing.
DESIGN, IMPLEMENT AND REVIEW
Long-term experience on full implementation projects, from roadmaps and high-level architectures, to defining specific requirements, to building content, to defining and executing a testing methodology, to supporting with functional and technical questions.
We also offer reviewing/ quality assurance service where the quality, functional coverage and efficiency of the solution will be assessed according to your specific requirements.
Strong technical expertise is available on solutions like SAP S/4 Hana Group Reporting, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or the various releases of SAP BPC.
