Budgeting Planning and Consolidation Seminar
Performance management has always been about how organisations plan, implement and monitor strategy. For most organisations this simply means replacing their systems for annual budgeting, monthly reporting and quarterly forecasting with an integrated solution. But is this all that's required?
According to Gartner, many of the potential benefits of Performance Management will not be realized as the focus of these replacements is typically too narrow and implementations ignore strategic considerations.
They also go on to say "… organisations that implement a performance driven culture supported by the right technologies will outperform their competitors by at least 30%."
We invite you to attend a two hour Seminar jointly hosted by Microsoft, SAP and Codec to discuss how companies can maximise Performance Management in today's challenging markets under the leading question - Why prioritize budgeting?
Who should attend:
Chief Financial officers, Finance Directors, Financial Controllers,
CIOs, IT Managers with Financial business system responsibility
Registration for limited places to Robert O`Sullivan:
