Embedded Software Agreement business partner
Since 2012, Finvision has been an Embedded Software Agreement (ESA) business partner of IBM. Since the start of our partnership, we have supported around twenty clients in the implementation of IBM Controller. In addition, we assist them in preparing the consolidation, or we perform it together with them within Controller. In this way, we consistently ensure an efficient, transparent, and accurate consolidation cycle.
Most of our clients use a set of standard reports developed by Finvision in Planning Analytics. Some of them also opt for extensive custom reporting, in which we further detail the Planning Analytics environment and fully tailor it to their needs.
Furthermore, the output from Controller can be integrated into BI reporting. For several clients, we have already successfully implemented this integration, further optimizing their management reporting and significantly strengthening the alignment between consolidation and reporting.
