Slide 8 Business Partner Role of Controlling and the Matrix Organization provide four main challenges for the project
Finance Function Line of Business Business Unit High IT costs because of multiple parallel systems Process orientation leads to a necessity of group- and Process Process Synergies cannot be realized in spite of wide steering ability bundling tasks at LGBS aligned Steering by analysis of events, anticipation of the New Technologies („Digital Boardroom“) mean Matrix future and resultant action prohibitive high costs in both implementation and Organization In today‘s heterogeneous IT landscape, these maintenance requirements are not being fully addressed
Challenges for the Project

Slide 10 Planning Methodology, Content, Process and System get optimized in terms of effectivity and efficiency
Planning Methodology
Is the focus on steering the portfolio (Finance-focused planning): cost units oriented finance planning supplemented by statistical information? A rather operative steering approach (integrated planning): Cost units oriented operative planning is derived out of the financial planning Influence driver based steering possible (Influence driver based planning): Influence driver based derivation of the financial planning

Slide 15 S/4 Central Finance, embedded SAP BW and SAP BPC 10.1 embedded provides innovative way to integrate data
Consequent use of opportunities to of virtualize data
Low automatization of planning and forecasting processes increase the consumption of resources S/4 Central Finance offers the opportunity to have all SAP based financial actual data within one system SAP BW embedded provides the opportunity to add non SAP based financial data and plan data SAP BPC 10.1 embedded in combination with Analysis for Office Front end offers the opportunity to bring SAP Central Finance based data and SAP BW embedded together Integrate Planning and reporting is possible without significant data transfers
The integration of actual data based on virtual data provider and aggregations increase efficiency by reduced number of persistent data and no longer needed reconciliations and data transfers.
