The Journey Historical Perspective
Totally reliant on excel for - Budgeting / Forecasting - Monthly Reporting - Consolidation All supporting schedules were excel or word based Complex spreadsheets with single point failure Lack of confidence in the accuracy of formula and too prone to numbers being changed or manipulated without controls Business undergoing significant growth & change P8
As at 30 June 2008
The Journey Brio
Implemented in 2004 to address the reporting and analysis requirements of our Property Management Business Later expanded to report on capital expenditure and project status Chosen for it’s ease of use, queries could be easily written by in house staff, push capability to publish reports Brio was acquired by Hyperion in late 2004 / early 2005

The Journey The Next Phase - Hyperion
Business expansion and diversification Brio was meeting Property Management Reporting but we still extensively relied on excel for Corporate Planning and Reporting Statutory structure was becoming more complex Increased complexity of financial analysis and reporting Hyperion started to integrate Brio as their BI tool

As at 30 June 2008
The Journey The Requirements
A centralised integrated budgeting and planning tool (not excel) Ability to easily do “what if” analysis Ability to have multiple versions of budgets / forecasts Development of planning templates Automate the consolidation of monthly management reports Statutory consolidation using a different reporting hierarchy than Management Reporting and complete Statutory / Management Reconciliation P11
As at 30 June 2008

Benefits Robust as compared to Excel Accuracy / Data Integrity Transparency of data (drill down, etc) Improved Timeliness Flexibility – Ability to adapt to changing structure and reporting requirements e.g. moving historical data into new structure Reduced staffing requirements to complete consolidations Relies on data extracted directly from the GL (single source of the truth) Supporting work papers integrated to system P13
Finance staff can focus on value add activities As at 30 June 2008
Key Lessons Planning is the key (as with any project) Invest time up front to get the account structure right Finance to own the implementation Business Buy in Dedicated team Manage the size of the cube Clear Scope to avoid scope creep and cost blow outs Realistic project plan as distinct to trying to meet some specific deadline Good Implementation Partner P14
