Context & Issues
The Group wanted to modernize its finance function by rethinking its management model, notably through the implementation of a new reporting and planning solution.
The main objectives of this project were to .
- Switch from a statutory vision to a management vision.
- Ensure a complete and consistent view of the Group P&L from the most aggregated to the most detailed level during the budget phase and at monthly closing.
Our approach

- Strong integration and agility of business teams with IS teams, especially BW.
- Work on master data: review, taxonomy and hierarchy (accounts, cost centers, profit centers, functions, etc.).
- Creation of a single collection point in BW to feed all reporting.
- User experience with a unique user-friendly front end and a powerful excel add-on for drill down.
