Do's and Don'ts For Effective Operational Performance Reporting

All departments within an organization depend on reporting. Sales, operations, marketing, and finance all require reporting that is timely, accurate and relevant. In addition, regulations require organizations to verify the accuracy of numbers they report, but it can take weeks to complete a period close, which is an error-prone process that relies on gathering information via email, phone and fax.

People need:

• A single source of operational information

• Timely and easy access to that information

Join Actuate, featuring Forrester Consulting, in discussing the Total Economic Impact (TEI) framework Forrester constructed from interviews with six Actuate customers to identify the benefits, risks and costs associated with implementing an Enterprise Reporting platform such as Actuate for Operational Performance Reporting.

Forrester Consulting's study found that an organization using Actuate can realize the potential for payback within 14 months and a return on investment on the Actuate development platform of 161%.

By attending you will learn how interviewed customers:

• Improved efficiency around operational performance reporting

• Improved visibility and consistency within financial reporting

• Lowered technology costs associated with report production

Featured speakers:

Richard Stark, Director, Financial Management Solutions - Actuate

Jon Erickson, Senior Consultant - Forrester Research
