Editor's Notes
- A recent survey of Fortune 1000 CFOs found that 81% believed they worked at companies that viewed their finance operation as a “strategic business partner”. This shows that the role of finance is rapidly evolving from a backward-looking accounting function to a forward-looking strategic advisor providing insight and direction for the business. In the past, CFOs and finance departments were mostly focused on cost control and financial accounting - reporting and analyzing the past. Processes were rigid, spreadsheet-driven and top-down with limited integration and collaboration between financial plans and operations.
- The world is changing and new business challenges are dricing this change: Data & Analytics Companies generate increasing volumes of data fueled by new ways to connect with customers, suppliers through social and to capture real-time data from operations through sensors and IoT. The challenge is to transform this data into insights and action through analytics and generate value for the business. Stakeholders More stakeholders want access to data and analytics for decision support and even prescriptive actions. They want flexibility and access anytime, anywhere and on any device. Business users are used to intuitive web and mobile apps with consumer-grade interfaces that require no training. Digitalization Finding new ways to operate and generate new revenue streams are the promises of digital transformation but on the flipside, pressure from nimbler competitors is increasing and with it the need to make processes more efficient and lower cost of ownership for technology and systems. Increase agility and responsiveness In order to become more responsive to changing market environments finance needs more agile business planning, budgeting and forecasting processes and tightly integrate them with performance management. A single truth shared across the enterprise and flexible planning cycles with focus on strategic objectives are a key imperative.
- A New Generation of Modern Planning, Analytics and Performance Management Solutions helps Finance master the new challenges. They are intended to increase the speed and reduce complexity of planning, produce more accurate results with a collaborative, integrated planning approach, Increase the transparency and drive actions, automate for better, faster results through more guidance. The business benefits are more operational and resource efficiency, the ability to react faster to a changingbusiness environment and become more agile, better employee satisfaction thanks to ease of use and simplified processes, a better customer experience which translate to more revenue.

Functional capabilities Modern integrated planning and performance management solutions offer highly flexible and collaborative modelling capabilities that integrate financial and strategic plans with operational plans and sub-budgets. They also combine planning with powerful modeling and analytics such as scenario analysis, driver-based planning and predictive analytics to drive more transparent and efficient processes and obtain more accurate timely results. They offer a new level of ease-of-use for business users so everyone can obtain insights in a self-service fashion, independently from IT or others. Additionally, modern mobile and web clients ensure easy access and wide adoption. Technical Capabilities Modern solutions can be implemented quickly and offer a very short time to value. They can be scaled easily to support changing business needs. They are built for integration in a modern enterprise architecture that replaces inflexible, expensive legacy systems (enterprise suites) with best-of-breed applications and features that integrate seamlessly with each other. These solutions also make use of latest technologies to enhance data processing and query performance in order to support high data volumes and complex models. Finally, new cloud deployment and subscription pricing models offer greater flexibility and scalability for business as well as lower TCO.

- Of course, in Jedox 7 we are also introducing many additional new features and improvements
- For example you will see powerful new features to kickstart planning and make modelling a lot faster and more powerful. Including Smart Modeling and the new Smart Mapping for self-service data preparation, a new Time editor, Locilsation and self-service integration. We have … Powerful Modeling: Time Editor, Localization, Rule Templates, New Database Scripts, Flexible cubes Ease-of-use: Touch interface, customization Reporting and Visualisation: Central Style sheets, multi-selection, new sample dashbaords Enterprise: only CPM solution that makes use of GPU for write-back Cloud:
- With the new modeler, modeling in Jedox Excel and Jedox web is unified and more intuitive while keeping the Jedox flexibility. Together with more intuitive mobile access and touch interface, Jedox offers a truly seamless experience on any device, anywhere, anytime.
- 86% of companies still use Excel in their planning processes. This is why at the center of our self-service solution is the Excel-like UI that makes it easy for any user to plan, report and analyse in Jedox.
- However, we complement Excel with the features of a first-class enterprise solution. Adding a datawarehouse, powerful integration tools, security and data management tools as well as state-of-the-art web and mobile applications for user engagement. Of course, we also offer strong workflow support, audit-trails, sophisticated business rules and a user-rights management.
- Now, let’s take a look
- Let’s also take a look what we have changed “under the hood”.
- The Jedox marketplace and models are new web components in our platform architecture. Driven by the introduction of these new components and also by the goal to improve ease-of-use, performance and security in the cloud and on premise we have undertaken additional enhancements to other components.
- Smart Modeling tools in Jedox allow user to quickly build a model from scratch using either there own Excel Workbooks that they have build over time, a Jedox Model or a customer model as a starting point. With data-driven modeling you start with the excel file and the smart tools in Jedox automatically recognize datatype e.g. time dimensions, measure and other and create your model autmatically. The new smart mapping feature in Jedox 7 let‘s you export a template from an existing model and fill it with your own data. When ready you simply reimport the file and map the data intuitively to dimensions and data fields in your existing model. Finally, you can use the new self-service integration feature to schedule automated integration jobs that pull-in the data autmatically.
- GPU technology is unique in CPM solutions, esp. write-back real-time. Jedox is a market leader in query performance satisfaction. Through further enhancements to its innovative GPU technology, Jedox 7 can deliver even greater levels of performance for large and complex planning models. Jedox 7 is democratizing GPU access independent of hardware specifications so that more users can benefit from massive performance speed-up: Jedox GPU is now using the host memory (CPU) for data storage, so that you are no longer dependent on the GPU RAM of your system to take advantage of the additional calculation speed.
