• Granularity“cross walk” from legacy systems to new systems (Datasource, Entity, Function, Department)
• Reconciliationroutineto tie back to systems of record (HFM)
• Conversionof data from ledger-view (year-to-date) to planning-view(periodic)
• Processing of currency and constantcurrency
• Admin-onlyreporting needs
• Enables “enterprise-wide” actualson day 1 of go-live
15 Proprietary &Confidential
P&L Input Model

(“actualization”)
▪ Integrated, purpose-builtmodules
− Personnel expense planning
− Divisionaloperational planning
▪ Abilityto accept budget/forecasts developed externally
▪ Maintaindataintegrity from disparate sources that may
contend/overlap
▪ Intelligent modeling and “seeding” functionalityfor quick
