How to Unleash Your Data into Impactful Analytics

As crisis management turns to reshaping your organization’s path for future growth, is your business ready to start accelerating its recovery and for the challenges that lie ahead?

The ability to quickly and frequently reforecast and adapt to change across supply chains, workforce, and overall business strategy, are now standard requirements for planning your organization’s route forward.

In this webinar, Sunil Murray, VP, EPM, insightsoftware and Tim Caudill, Director, Pre-Sales, insightsoftware will discuss continuous planning supports business agility and can help your organization reshape future growth.

When Financial Results are Significantly Different to Forecast

Does your finance team spend more time reporting on your company's performance than analyzing and communicating it to stakeholders? 

The more attention finance teams dedicate to spreadsheets and manual reporting, the less likely they are using their analytical skills to enable their companies to understand and make better decisions based on the dynamics of key financial and non-financial drivers of performance. 

Advances in automation now make it possible for finance teams to redirect their efforts away from preparing reports about past performance and focus instead on learning how their companies can positively influence future performance across the enterprise.

During this session, we will reveal how finance leaders can: 
 - Use automation to reduce or even eliminate the time they spend on manual reporting 
 - Employ data visualization to communicate about their companies' performance far more clearly and succinctly than they can with numbers alone 
 - Align financial and operational data to identify opportunities and inform decisions about how to improve their company performance.

Leveraging Technology to Communicate the Story Behind the Numbers

Business agility has been more important than ever as the impacts of the global pandemic have created a new remote reality and are continuing to influence what will become the next normal. Robust reporting and analysis have always been necessary, but are now determining the fate of companies across all industries. Despite common myths, Excel can facilitate data truth and deliver efficient and effective financial reporting.  
In this session, we will demonstrate how to: 
- Educate your Excel users in Excel best practices to facilitate data truth at your company  
-  Enable your finance teams to answer ad-hoc inquiries and create custom, refreshable, drillable reports in minutes using live data in Excel 
- Quickly and easily distribute financial and operational reports across departments

Modernize Your Finance & Project Reporting With Live Deltek Data – In Excel

Prior to implementing Spreadsheet Server, BSK Associates had trouble creating comprehensive reports with their data living in multiple systems, including their Deltek ERP. With their move from an on-prem to cloud version of Deltek, their reporting didn’t get any easier. PDF reports from Deltek were being manually re-keyed into Excel and custom reports became very complicated, even for Kris Morton, their CIO who is an SQL programmer. 
Join this session to see how Kris was able to perform six months of reports for five different cost centers in less than 20 minutes; empower his business users to create reports they need without going through Deltek technical services; and make migrating from Vision to Vantagepoint easier after implementing Spreadsheet Server, an Excel-based financial and project reporting tool using live Deltek data.

Join our 30-minute webinar showcasing how Spreadsheet Server can transform your Real Estate reporting. Mike Wiley, Solutions Engineer, will cover key reports that you can create with our tool and how we solve reporting challenges such as:
 - Manual data entry
 - Data discrepancies 
 - Building the same report multiple times

Easy and Automated Real Estate Reporting

FSN’s newly released research, “The Future of Analytics in The Finance Function,” finds that only 14% of analytic effort is insightful.

More than 50% of companies are simply reliant on cyclical reporting from ERP systems, with very few CFOs having the capability to go the extra mile. And while standard reporting can provide a robust foundation for analytics, rapidly changing circumstances such as Covid-19, or an aggressive acquisition strategy, bring home the need for a more agile response.

So, the obvious question is, why are so few companies able to deliver insightful analytics and how can CFOs better prepare to answer any financial question sent their way?

In this 30-minute webinar, Gary Simon, Chief Executive Officer of FSN, and Henry Schumann, Director of Finance at insightsoftware, discuss the crucial information that can be driven from financial and operational data in the quest for better insights and decision-making.

Speakers:

Gary Simon is the Chief Executive Officer of FSN and Leader of the Modern Finance Forum for CFOs. He is a graduate of London University, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and a Fellow of the British Computer Society. Gary has more than 30 years’ experience of implementing management and financial reporting systems. He is the author of four books and a popular independent speaker on market developments.

Henry Schumann is Director of Finance at insightsoftware.

How can Financial Analytics Provide a Springboard to Insight?

Something all SAP users knows is that when it comes to creating timely reports, they face different challenges both in terms of data access and manipulation. Being forced to rely on IT to create the reports often means organizations must spend too much time preparing the data, instead of analyzing it, preventing them from gaining a real-time, relevant picture.

This is where Financial Intelligence comes in. But what is Financial Intelligence? And how can it help organizations access real-time, accurate, and drillable data and easily identify the key indicators you should focus on to achieve better results?

Register for our webinar to discover more on how to leverage your SAP data and improve your organization’s outcomes.

How Financial Intelligence Can Help Improve Strategic Analysis

Does it take you 5 days, 10 days, or even longer to complete your monthly, quarterly, or year-end close? Are you struggling with consolidations for multiple subsidiaries that each run different financial management systems? What if your closing cycle could happen in one or two days instead of in a month? A better close could mean time and money saved on audit prep, and higher confidence in the data you deliver.

Watch this webinar on how to Accelerate Your Monthly, Quarterly, and Year-End Reporting in which you’ll learn how to:

 - Improve visibility into reconciliations
 - Accelerate report pack production
 - Drill- down to see the details behind each number
 - Find a solution that delivers real-time reporting directly from your ERP
