Improving Intercompany Reconciliation for a Faster CloseFindWhitePapers
Remove the single greatest barrier to the fast financial close – intercompany reconciliation – from the financial close's critical path while improving the quality of data by using a software solution, such as BusinessObjects Intercompany, to gain dramatic time savings with comparably little effort.

Your Challenge
Infrastructure, by focusing on the reliability, availability, and serviceability of existing platforms, is perceived as a cost center rather than a business enabler.
Business stakeholders look to external vendors, rather than Infrastructure, to exploit emerging technologies. This leads to duplication of effort, inconsistent standards, and ineffective IT governance.
Infrastructure directors are unable to draw a line showing how their activities directly support the overall business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Think of the roadmap as a service, not a product. Its value is inversely proportional to the time since its last update.
Alignment perception issues can be addressed by having the infrastructure practice formally engage and communicate with business stakeholders.
Shadow IT can provide business-ready initiatives that need only to be tweaked to align with Infrastructure’s internal goals.
Impact and Result
This blueprint will help you build:
A formal channel and way of communicating value bottom-up and top-down between IT and the executive team.
A methodology to prioritize and create projects that generate business value.
A tool that can produce multiple outputs of value for different audiences using the same data.
An ongoing roadmap process, rather than a static document, that is able to adjust and react to evolving business circumstances.

The Age of Alignment Part II: Getting Strategy-Driven Performance Measurement...Pearl Meyer
Our December webinar explored a fundamental question that was raised by the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on Strategy Development: “Does your company’s incentive structure reinforce or unintentionally undermine its chosen strategy?”
During that webinar, I talked with my colleague on the Blue Ribbon Commission, Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Steve Van Putten, along with Michael Ng who is with us again today. We discussed the alignment of business strategy and compensation, the role of the Board, the hallmarks of a properly aligned program and examples of various approaches to design, monitoring and revision.
Today, we will build on that topic and take an in-depth look at how Boards can implement the right performance measures to ensure a compensation program that will be an effective tool for driving corporate strategy. With Pearl Meyer and Partners’ Managing Director Matt Turner taking the lead, we will look at measurement selection and mix, and practical concerns for measurement, goal setting and the on-going administration and governance of a winning program.

SEO Analytics in a Not Provided World: Change Your Focus to Profit and ROI!Jeff Sauer
Keywords (not provided) in Google Analytics is the best thing to happen to SEO, because it forces marketers to start thinking outside of the box!

34. “The Success 6” - QUALITY Ownership Results Priorities Drivers Quality Delivery Data quality, integration, automation and governance One of the key challenges organizations face during performance management implementations is the ability to get and deliver automated, clean, consistent, and trusted information. This includes historical data on both an actual and plan basis and accessing data from on tax, consolidated costs, intercompany profit, gross margin and inventory. Inventory will be the most difficult given the inherent disconnect between the financial and physical view. Considerable data cleansing and transformation along with the ability to identify and quickly correct errors found during reporting is critical. Having a set of test data that can be validated as early in the project as possible, will be key to ensuring both trust in the reporting data as well as getting user testing and acceptance early in the project. Solution deliver strategies must encompass much more than the tools being used, but also the processes and ownership from both an IT and business user perspective.
