Thinking of buying SAP BPC?
Your legacy forecasting, reporting or consolidation systems may be outdated or, even worse, are a mass of Excel workbooks and you need to streamline them….
Need to replace a manual system
Many organisations still use manual excel spreadsheets to collect financial data. While Excel is a powerful tool in itself, the sharing of this data can be difficult, and time consuming.
SAP BPC provides a secure centralised source of data that can be accessed simultaneously by many users from all over the world. The close links with Excel make it an ideal tool to replace manual excel based systems. Users are not too far out of their comfort zone, which can greatly ease the transition.
Outgrown the current system
Many organisations find that as they grow, some smaller Business Intelligence (BI) or EPM tools can find it hard to keep up. Until eventually they just can’t cope.
The architecture of SAP BPC means that it can cope with vast amounts of data and many users attempting to access it at once. Large organisations including major corporations and government departments rely on SAP BPC for their financial reporting and forecasting.
Current System is Outdated
Older applications may be difficult to operate in today’s 24/7 reporting timetables. Updates, upgrades and general maintenance may force the application to be offline for long periods and constrain the flexibility to respond to ever changing needs. It is all too common that a business discovers their system is so far out of date that the best solution is simply to start again from scratch.
With the right help, SAP BPC can be tailored to your business needs. CopperMan can help you create a tailored solution that works for your business. Updates and upgrades to SAP BPC are easily available and not too time consuming to install.
Unhappy with existing system
“The system always breaks down at month end”, “It’s so hard to get hold of support”, “Are we paying too much for our BI system”. All of these are frustrations that can lead to an organisation investigating other tools, to see if they are better suited to their needs.
With the easy to understand user interface and the SQL or Netweaver based back end, SAP BPC provides an easy transition for end users. If issues are encountered, the state of the art back end technology provides clear problem solving routes.
