Financial Systems Optimization — Extending Your ROI

> Download Datasheet (PDF)


With all the rich functionality available in mySAP™ ERP Financials, the average organization is not fully utilizing the capabilities of its financial management software. Identifying, managing, and understanding the extraordinary amount of data that drives your FI/CO module can be very challenging.

When properly configured and utilized, mySAP ERP Financials will provide generous paybacks to your organization by reducing costs, improving productivity, enhancing customer relations, increasing profits, and empowering your people with timely and useful information. Many different factors can impact the effectiveness of your financial management software relative to its potential:
  • Mergers and acquisitions

  • Flawed initial implementation

  • New SAP options and upgrades

  • Improperly trained employees

  • Partially implemented functionality

  • New company policies designed without process performance in mind

  • Limited domain knowledge, skills, and expert resources

Financial system optimization enables companies to extend the ROI of their existing SAP software. Unlike complex Business Process Reengineering (BPR) initiatives, which analyze and radically redesign workflow within and between enterprises, financial system optimization addresses underutilized software capabilities.


Virtuoso’s Optimization Roadmap Drives Results

Improving financial systems begins with a roadmap of what a business wants its software to do, what existing software can achieve, and what obstacles stand in the way (see Figure 1). To optimize your financial systems, you must align your enterprise software’s capabilities with your company’s needs.

First, examine your financial systems, identify gaps in your resources, processes, and information, and introduce improvements to ensure that your system is set up to work in harmony with your business goals.Then, redefi ne roles and responsibilities and decide how your fi nancial systems should support the enterprise. Finally, perform a needs analysis and extend information access to use your system to its highest potential.

After completing your optimization project, your team will understand the capabilities of your fi nancial management software and how it can be used to reduce costs, improve effi ciencies, and increase productivity. By better utilizing the information captured in your fi nancial software, your team will work more effectively and increase your ROI.
