Hierarchy Management -October 10th, 2006 at 2:00PM GMT
Hierarchies are the foundation and structure of all business reporting. As IT portfolios grow to include enterprise reporting, business intelligence, business performance management, and analytic applications, hierarchy maintenance becomes a time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient process. Providing a single version of truth for all hierarchical data is crucial to aligning enterprise reporting and ensuring accurate and consistent results.
Customer Data Integration -Details on this upcoming online event will appear shortly
Address the impact of accurate and consistent customer information on customer satisfaction and retention, the bottom line, and future growth. With valuable customer data managed by different business units and stored in disparate data silos throughout the organization, CDI becomes crucial to recognising a single customer relationship, identifying cross-selling opportunities, consolidating customers by geography, capturing and managing salesperson assignments to customers over time, and modelling and maintaining entities associated with customers.
Product Information Management - Details on this upcoming online event will appear shortly
Cover the benefits and best practices associated with delivering a single source of product data through product information management (PIM). A PIM strategy becomes paramount to ensuring the accuracy and completeness of product information and attributes that are stored in various applications and managed across different departments and geographies. Organizations are embracing PIM to align disparate product data across the enterprise, balance and maintain alternate but consistent product hierarchies for various applications and business units, and support the multi-departmental workflows required in the definition and organisation of new products.
Location Management - Details on this upcoming online event will appear shortly
This session covers location, organization and cost centre management. Vital to the business performance management initiatives of large corporations with many stores and facilities, a successful location management strategy enables companies to optimise how they manage rapid and substantial changes to the organisation structure from reorganisation and mergers & acquisitions, preserve organisational data structure and consolidations across various points in time for historical comparisons, support internal vs. external consolidation requirements, facilitate ad-hoc analysis of cost centers, and comply with Sarbanes-Oxley by providing auditability and transparency of changes, as well as process controls and security to enable various users to manage appropriate locations.
