Additional Slides
• The following slides covers the new BI360
collaboration Module
BI360 Reporting vs FRx & MR
Everything that FRx/MR does for Financial Statements, plus:
Use of all fields (such as Account Category) in the GL in reports
Dynamic rows/columns (e.g. an account range can produce many rows
in a P&L) = faster report design and less maintenance
Much better formatting (because it is Excel-based)
But in addition you get much more:
• Web (Dec. 2012) and Excel interface for end users
• Ad-hoc reporting
• Full BI suite (one integrated solution with budgeting, dashboard,
collaboration and DW)
• Report on sub-ledgers
• Cell-level control (FRx/MR requires either a row or a column to
“win”)
Why are Collaboration Technologies
Important?
Because they conclude and round off a 3-step performance
management process to help drive DECISIONS:
