How did Reliant Energy Address the Consolidation, Reporting, Analysis, Modeling, Budgeting and Forecasting Issues that existed within SAP? "Delivered via a corporate Intranet portal, SPARC [Systemized Performance Analysis and Reporting Channel] provides: forward looking, integrated financial statements ... a repository for variance explanation across forecast cycles; and a communicator of performance data." Commentary by David Michie, Reliant Energy From The Data Warehousing Institute's WHAT WORKS, Volume 11 - Case Studies.url<< http://www.dw-institute.com/whatworks11/cs/cs7/cs7.html Join us Tuesday, October 30th, 2001 at The Four Seasons Hotel to understand how Reliant Energy has addressed the major changes in its industry so that it now has the ability to manage the short-term and long-term business horizons in a more deregulated world. Reliant Energy, Arthur Andersen, and Thinkfast Consulting will present on how Reliant Energy leveraged their ERP and Data Warehouse investments with Hyperion to create SPARC, their reporting, analysis, budgeting, forecasting and modeling system. Prior to Hyperion, according to David Michie, "...previous plan, actuals, and one-year forecast updates came from separate source systems utilizing different account definitions and formats, which made comparability and consolidation very difficult. This led to analysts re-formatting data, adjusting links, and modifying formulas. In addition, update-to-update changes could not be identified on a real-time basis." Learn how Reliant Energy leverages Hyperion Solutions to: ? Reduce its Forecasting and Management Cycle from 8-10 days to 2-3 days ? Provide a "single version of the truth" for business rules with the Hyperion Analytic Platform, which has reduced the average decision making horizon from indefinite (multiple internal meetings) to minutes or hours ? Automate integration with their ERP Package ? Facilitate reporting, analysis, modeling and planning from multiple data sources - including ERP, Data Warehouse, Legacy and others ? Eliminate manual efforts of spreadsheet shadow systems - re-formatting of data, adjusting links, modifying formulas, etc. ? Gain an extensible solution that can be leveraged enterprise wide with the Hyperion Analytic Platform ?
