Your Challenge:
As markets are constantly evolving and global business competition is getting faster each day, organisations are increasingly turning to EPM applications to execute their management processes. As demand for these Applications has grown, so has their breadth and complexity. Today, the high cost of maintaining skilled internal support staff and the lack of internal best practices are causing many organisations to seek alternative ways of realising the full potential from their EPM Applications.
A challenge that Finance must address is how to support key initiatives at a time when its staff size is lower than ever? According to Hackett Benchmarking, the cost of finance has decreased by half over the past two decades, which has meant an approximately equal reduction in finance staff because the majority of finance costs are for personnel. And this pressure is taking its toll. Studies show that CFOs believe that reporting requirements have become more complex in the past few years and that complexity will increase within the next few years.
Your Solution:
While technology is not a remedy, it can help offset staff cuts and increased pressures by automating processes and delivering greater insight into the business. CIBA recognises these market pressures and has created a Managed Services offering to assist our client’s in meeting these challenges.
