How to convince the (local) business
to implement a central BI-system?
With more than 50 independent legal entities and two divisions, Verder International has to
consolidate a large amount of financial information from extremely varied systems every
month. With BOARD a management information system was delivered, where each entity can
continue using its own ERP and local systems, while consolidating and sharing its information
through the head office. The quality of the management information and key performance
indicators (KPIs) was lacking. BOARD prevents that by amassing the financial data in a
controlled and secure environment while maintaining a link to the source data. At Verder it is
now possible for all to work with the same version of the truth. Now, authorization is managed
on a group level. Plus, the programming-free toolkit enables controllers to build advanced
financial reports and multidimensional graphic models.
All in all, monthly reports are available much faster than before and are always current,
complete and reliable. The quality of data has been improved, as BOARD automatically flags
errors in the reports.
Michiel will explain how he manages financial information with many different local ERP
systems and how Verder did prioritize the projects: valuable projects for structural improvement
or replacement of current method of working.
