Evaluation workshop on group consolidation software

Benefit from our holistic
consulting approach. Our evaluation workshop
comprises the following steps:

1. recording the technical requirements

In the first step, we work with you to agree your individual requirements
and framework conditions. We analyze which accounting standards, consolidation methods and reporting requirements are relevant. We also record your existing system landscape, processes and interfaces. The aim is to create a clear basis for selecting the right SAP consolidation solution.

2. detailed analysis of the data provided

We then check the quality and structure of your existing financial data and the existing consolidation processes. We analyze the data sources, evaluate existing workflows and identify manual or error-prone steps. In doing so, we identify optimization potential and define requirements for more efficient consolidation. In this way, we ensure that the future solution can be optimally integrated into your processes.

3. presentation of possible SAP consolidation solutions in comparison

In the next step, we will introduce you to the relevant SAP consolidation solutions and compare their architecture, data integration and reporting options. The example scenarios and live demos will give you a practical insight into how the solutions work. This will give you a clear understanding of which solution is best suited to your requirements.

4. Implications of the selected tools

Finally, the focus is on the classification of the tools that complement the consolidation solution. These are the SAP Analytics Cloud for reporting and planning, the selection of possible BW tools (BW/4HANA or DataSphere) and also the benefits of the Business Data Cloud in the context of the various consolidation requirements. The focus here is on the best possible benefit,
which these tools also contribute to the Group reporting process.

5. Discussion of the results and development of the implementation strategy

In this part, we discuss the analysis results together and define the most important evaluation criteria for the system selection. We develop a basis for decision-making and work out an implementation strategy, including migration steps, schedule and change management. This provides you with a sound basis for your decision and the successful implementation of the new SAP consolidation solution.
