Cognos Finance
Companies drive performance by developing the best possible
plans and communicating them across the organization.
Enterprise planning integrates plans and budgets across departments,
divisions, and locations. It translates corporate objectives into concrete
financial and tactical plans.
The best plans are not simply top-down. They depend on information from the
bottom-up. The best plans engage the hundreds and thousands of people who
make them happen.
Enterprise planning dramatically speeds up the mechanics of the planning process.
You can build business models in days rather than months, letting you test
scenarios and reduce risk. You can turn annual budgets into rolling forecasts
that give more accurate visibility into future operating performance.
Cognos delivers enterprise planning through the integrated capabilities
of the Cognos® Enterprise Planning Series. You gain better visibility of your business
plans and the budgets that drive them, employee accountability through
distributed scorecard metrics, and information reliability through a shared financial
framework of data.
Cognos Enterprise Planning Series enables the management cycle
by bringing together:
Planning, budgeting, & forecasting : Take your
organization's overall strategy and break it down into the activities, decisions,
and initiatives necessary to achieve it.
Consolidations & financial reporting :
Cut consolidation and reporting cycles to spend more time on in depth
analysis and enable more flexible, dynamic planning.
Financial analytics : Bring together the
detailed transaction information for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
general ledger to meet operational financial reporting and analysis needs
across the company.
