The new world of finance

Get ready for a brand new way of approaching finance. With solutions based on Microsoft technologies, you can drive greater operational efficiency and get more actionable insight—using the tools you already know, like Excel. From consistent, accurate reporting and real-time scorecards and KPIs to reliable budgeting and forecasting, your people can get better information faster—they can spend less time on routine tasks and more time on strategic initiatives. Microsoft-based solutions also make it easier to manage governance, risk and compliance by embedding controls directly into business productivity applications.

Improve Financial Operations

Optimise core business systems and processes

Now you can drive consistent, accurate financial reporting, lower transaction costs, simplify asset management and deliver real-time information to decision-makers. With a unified, real-time view of all data across multiple data sources, you’ll get a single, trustworthy view of your financial activity. With familiar tools and role-tailored experiences, you can focus less on repetitive, manual tasks and more on strategic activities. The end result is a process-driven financial organisation that can respond to change.

Drive Corporate Performance

Gain relevant business insight for better business decisions

Empower people throughout your organisation with insight to plan more effectively, align with strategic initiatives and make better business decisions. Using familiar tools, such as Office Excel, your people can access real-time data in the form of scorecards, forecasts, budgets and more. Plus with ad hoc analysis tools, your people can expand access to important business data, while reducing dependence on IT. As a result, people throughout the organisation find the right information faster—leading to better business decisions and better business performance.

Streamline Compliance

Reduce the complexity of governance, risk management and compliance

Microsoft technologies can help streamline governance, risk management and compliance processes by enabling companies to embed controls into familiar desktop tools—such as Excel and Outlook—rather than relying on specialised applications or labour-intensive manual processes. Familiar tools and interfaces help ensure widespread adoption of compliance policies. And by taking advantage of software you may already own, the cost of compliance is reduced. The result is faster, more effective, more reliable monitoring and risk analysis throughout the organisation.
