Developing a support model based on BI Center of Excellence

best practices is foundational

HANA and Business Objects brought together with the WRBA

program through 2011-13 features include:

End user today must be recognized as having significant

influence and will require organization change

Finding and transferring user activity from Excel into Analytics

tools is a challenge in a complex business environment

Complex business analysis and highly competent end-users

demand Self-Service reporting capability

A vision for Corporate Reporting Enablement – Leveraging HANA across international lines and corporate boundaries • The WRBA program has begun delivering HANA and Business Objects as the advanced

analytic solution

• Verizon and CSC develop the strategy and recipe for introduction

The objective of the WRBA is based on corporate directive for consolidated and complete financial reporting

Provide the tools and data to facilitate a drastic change in reporting and analysis behavior –while enabling a complete set of finance, supply chain, capital, real estate, and pro services data

Along with the business hierarchies that help shape the results for business performance. While planning for ongoing corporate re-alignment

Additionally, this platform serves up aggregated results for the corporate performance management initiative. Delivering: Accuracy timeliness

Re-align the reporting to a single source Converging multiple ERP sources Converting to a single code block Set approach and platform for managing historical content

There is no perfect time for BI program, but tackling the foundation in preparation for Big Data and Analytics can be an dominant factor

• Concurrent activity and aggressive timeline

• Continuous organizational change, 5 year plan

• Aiming for base technology in Analytics to be foundation to build on

• Build out of skills and best practices along with fast growing team and user base

Analytic platform is supported by complete source of data – which acts as an umbrella cover for the ongoing SAP integration

• Providing a complete subject area of

content ahead of the SAP integration

allows the analysis and reporting to

begin delivering wins sooner and

faster.

• Enabling the platform for future

analysis early on developers

supporting adopters and fends off the

challengers

• Providing a single source of complete

data builds trust and buys time for SAP

integration

It is an emotional challenge to understand the predicted outcome of a technology implementation and impact to SOP’s and end-user groups

• Managing expectations and the challenges of user adoption can be overwhelming

• Stage 1: Is that all there is?

– The problem of finding all the data in the right place during the critical research and analysis moments

• Financial analysis by accounting and FP&A teams require access to complete P&L and BS information, not to mention Capital, Assets, Supply Chain, etc.

• Constantly changing business requirements due to re-alignment cause the need for flexible information structures

• Who controls the business hierarchies and how are they kept up-to-date

• Stage 2: How did we get like this?

– The problem of deep insight into the business changes that drive the infrastructure and systems into their current state

• Mergers, Acquisitions, Divestitures, Corporate re-alignment and new business units create constant changing reporting requirements. The environment to support this is not prepared for flexibility

• Custom view are built on desktops to support and manage the business; backward comparisons are constant challenge and thus heavily labor intensive

• Is there every going to be single hierarchy ?

• Stage 3: Is there any way forward ?

– The challenge of keeping a positive perspective while all around there are changes

• A single ERP; a single reporting platform; the promise of faster access to content; requirements from the complete finance audience, plus supply chain, pro services, capital management, real estate, etc

• How can the progress be communicated; what is the right message; does everyone understand the technology enough to discuss the new data structures

• Where are the hierarchies managed now? Are they in sync with the reportable data?

• Stage 4: Can you hear me now ?

– The noise factor increases as discussions of a solution seems to offer signs of interest in user groups

• Recent wins lead to early adoption

• Challenge with IT on full-force ahead

Early benefits were greatly received increasing demand exponentially, thus governance became critical.

• Concurrent activities • SAP convergence – ongoing and delays

• Hyperion transition out of favor bus used in corporate

reporting

• Internal organization realignment (several levels)

• New business alignment and expansion

• Integration with Wireless

• Support for Corporate Performance Management –

becoming foundation data source

• Organizational Change • Introducing a consolidated platform of finance data

(replacing the many pieces)

• Integrating critical business hierarchies (removing

custom versions)

• Managing business unit reporting cycles – into a single

system

• Excel to Advanced Analytics • Dependent upon Hyperion and Excel for basic reporting

• Department based analysis, not common hierarchy

based

• Challenged by understanding of analytic tool capability

and fit to desktop tasks

• 2500+ users • 8 ledgers • Worldwide • Multi-year transition • 10 key hierarchy areas • Ranges 150,000 – 70 • Multi-sourced MDM

5/16/2013 Identification Number Goes Here 16 © 2012 Computer Sciences Corporation

Ongoing rollout provides continuous adoption and fundamental change

• Self Service Reporting • Heavy desktop procedures for finance accounting and FP&A

• Plenty of alternate hierarchies– customized without regard to standard

• Out of sync reconciliations to corporate consolidation

• BI center of Excellence • Various groups providing user support

• Various security models

• Various sources of data

• Various platforms for reporting

• Limited standards on BW – no standards for Business Objects

• Fostered desktop processes and data dumps

• Leftover culture from mergers / acquisitions

• Most concerned about data wrapped up in: “make it do what my Excel does”
