Why Alteryx?Do this…
… instead of this
13
Where to use it? On any process that could benefit from:- Scalable and repeatable data processes - repetitive calculations or functions in Excel quarter
after quarter/ each year/ multiple versions
- Auditability and knowledge transfer - unlike Excel, you know exactly what has been done with the data at every step and you never actually modify the original data file
- Efficiency - significant data manipulation of data such as combining many or extremely large files especially if teams are experiencing frequent Excel crashes
- And many others
Example Tax Use Cases:- Trial Balances Transformation- Provision Automation- Fixed Assets Data Automation- R&D Credit Studies
Example General Use Cases:- Merging and comparing datasets- Transforming data formats- Combining multiple files- Advanced analytic applications

Project OverviewBackgroundJ&J was spending excessive time managing and maintaining the set up and administrative functions of OneSource Tax Provision (OTP). Time consuming activities include preparing entities, adding entities, assigning the proper Custom Sub-Consolidation (CSC), and assigning users.
ObjectivesBased on discussions with J&J, KPMG has identified the following project goals in relation to automating the (OTP) set up process:- Automate the processing of adding entities following an acquisition or structure changes including
the data gathering, transformation, enrichment, and review of new entity data- Standardize the process and increase transparency into the data, automatically surfacing potential
errors and exceptions/OTP updates required- Significantly reduce the time and manual effort required to process setup of new entities post-
acquisition
