Physical Limits


Whilst finance objectives remain the same

Do you have the right technology to support your objectives ?

Ensure regulatory

compliance and effective

risk management

Deliver superior

service at a reduced

cost Outperform financial

objectives and create

sustainable value for

stakeholders


As a CFO, you are struggling with ...

“Financial decisions based on incomplete, inaccurate and often outdated information

So we might miss our financial objectives and not manage risk and compliance issues properly”

“Inability to access detailed financial information across all business dimensions

So we cannot identify new opportunities to optimize our financial performance”

“Time-consuming financial analysis and reporting processes with high volumes of data

So we have delays in the completion of our period-end closings”


Boost performance with complete and up-to-date data

More than half the

respondents agree that

their planning processes

can improve the most by

having improved access

to information; this shows

in-memory as a potential

displacer for traditional

OLAP-based planning.


Better utilize your data to gain a competitive advantage

Base decisions on the latest, granular

multi-structured data

Make decisions on analytics rather than

intuition

Frequently reassess forecasts and plans

Utilize analytics to support a spectrum

of strategic, operational, and tactical

decision making

Rapidly evaluate alternative scenarios

Leading businesses can outpace the competition because they can:
