SAP and ImpactECS for Manufacturers

A 2015 survey from Ventana Research noted that “companies are spending twice as much time handling data than analyzing it”¹.  At manufacturers with mature SAP implementations, business leaders and finance professionals are finding gaps in their analytical capabilities that make it difficult to calculate meaningful cost and profit detail, share and audit results, and analyze scenarios. CFO’s focused on profit growth need to identify the best set of technology required to support their analytical processes without turning to stop-gap options like spreadsheets or expensive SAP customization projects.

1. Ability to build budgets and set standard costs
2. Visibility into variances and their drivers
3. Ability to forecast how changing conditions affects profitability
