19th Annual Global CEO Survey - Poimintoja Suomen tuloksista
Toimitusjohtajien luottamus maailmantalouden kasvuun seuraavan vuoden aikana on laskenut kansainvälisesti nyt toista vuotta peräkkäin, ilmenee PwC:n 19. kansainvälisestä toimitusjohtajatutkimuksesta. Suomalaisjohtajien usko oman maan talouden kasvuun on sitäkin heikompi. Suomalaisjohtajien vastauksista paistaa kuitenkin usko siihen, että oman yrityksen tulevaisuudennäkymien suhteen syvimmästä kuopasta ollaan nousemassa.
Davosin talousfoorumissa julkistettuun Global CEO Survey -tutkimukseen osallistui yli 1 400 toimitusjohtajaa 83 maasta. Suomesta tutkimukseen haastateltiin 35 toimitusjohtajaa Suomen suurimmista yrityksistä.

The document summarizes key findings from PwC's 17th Annual Global CEO Survey regarding Australian CEOs. It finds that while Australian CEOs are cautiously optimistic about short-term growth, they are less confident than global, Asia Pacific, and US peers about long-term prospects. Australian CEOs are most concerned with over-regulation and infrastructure issues. They have focused more on internal restructuring than deals, and their deals activity in Asia is lower than peers. Australian CEOs recognize technology as the biggest transforming trend but less than half have technology change programs. They need to better capitalize on opportunities in the growing Asian economy.

The Irish economy saw significant growth in 2014, leading to an increase in permanent accountancy roles, especially at multinational companies. Demand was high for candidates with 1-5 years of experience from Big 4 firms. Part-qualified candidates also saw increased demand if they were bilingual. Salaries generally remained stable in 2014 except for niche skills. Hiring activity is expected to continue rising in 2015 as confidence improves, though recruitment processes have become longer on average.
A hybrid ERP solution combines on-premise and cloud-based ERP systems. There are benefits to each approach, so a hybrid model allows companies to choose the best option for different business functions. However, hybrid systems also present challenges around integration, security, and contractual responsibilities. When evaluating hybrid ERP solutions, companies should consider the vendor's architecture, partners, pricing model, and the ability to move systems between delivery methods.
- The document provides guidelines for mid-sized companies on selecting an international ERP system. It discusses the benefits an ERP system can provide for managing global operations and growth.
- A suitable ERP system must be able to integrate operations across countries to provide transparency and efficiency, while also being tailored to the needs of mid-sized businesses. It should support multi-company functionality, local laws and languages, and provide reporting and analytics.
- Selecting the right ERP involves evaluating solutions based on factors like flexibility, cost, implementation approach, and ensuring the solution and provider understand the needs of mid-sized international businesses.
This document provides tips for businesses that have outgrown QuickBooks and are looking to move to a more powerful accounting solution. It discusses gathering requirements, evaluating needs, selecting the right system, and important factors to consider. Some key tips include creating a task force to get input from different departments, prioritizing integration capabilities, choosing software before hardware, and looking for vendors that invest in ongoing support, customization and research/development. The overall goal is to help businesses thoroughly evaluate their unique needs and select software that can adapt and grow with their business over time.
The document discusses Sage 300 ERP, a software for operations and distribution management. It helps businesses automate key processes to lower costs, reduce returns, and improve customer loyalty. The software provides strong financial management, flexible operations management, powerful customer relationship management, and optimized management of multiple companies. It discusses modules for order entry, inventory control, and purchase order that seamlessly integrate with accounting and CRM for a complete business management system. Customers praise how it has improved order processing, reduced credit notes, and helped maintain the right inventory levels.
This document discusses the benefits of using an ERP system as a financial management system to support customer retention and growth. It outlines 6 key benefits: 1) Access to quality data and information, 2) Billing, payment and revenue management, 3) Compliance and efficiency through workflows, 4) Simplicity through handling multiple currencies and locations, 5) Risk management, and 6) Financial metrics management and real-time insights. An ERP system like Sage ERP X3 can fully integrate financial data across front and back office systems to provide a single customer view and ensure customer-facing staff have access to the data needed to deliver excellent customer service.
The document provides 10 tips for keeping a business secure from cyber threats: 1) Implement multi-layered defenses across devices, passwords, firewalls, and employee training. 2) Get employees onboard with simple, frequently updated security policies they understand. 3) Be aware of security risks on social media and use tools to flag unsafe links. 4) Use strong, unique passwords and change them regularly. 5) Password protect mobile devices that access business data. 6) Update programs and operating systems regularly to patch vulnerabilities. 7) Consider moving to the cloud to always have up-to-date software and improved security. 8) Track authorized software usage to prevent shadow IT risks. 9) Have incident response plans to recover from attacks. 10
Sage ERP X3 is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that allows companies to grow their business in three main ways:
1) Increase productivity and efficiency across the business through an intuitive interface and mobile access.
2) Gain insights through data analytics and reporting tools to make better business decisions.
3) Streamline operations and processes through end-to-end integration of key functions like finance, sales, purchasing, and manufacturing.
The document discusses how traditional hierarchical organizational structures are no longer effective in today's constantly changing business environment. It advocates for more agile organizations that can quickly adapt and react to changes. An agile organization delegates responsibility, experiments with new ideas, and reorganizes project teams flexibly. The finance function also needs to be agile by providing interactive tools to help managers monitor performance, identify issues, and make decisions to adapt to changes. It concludes that finance needs to empower managers by allowing them to create and modify their own reports in order to make timely business decisions.
An integrated CRM and ERP solution can provide many benefits to businesses by connecting disparate systems and departments. Some of the key challenges that businesses face with disconnected systems include inaccurate information as data is entered in multiple places, unnecessary paperwork as processes are stitched together manually, and inefficient processes when customer information is not centralized. However, with an integrated solution, businesses can transform the customer experience through faster issue resolution, market more effectively with targeted campaigns, and empower employees to be more productive by avoiding duplicate work.
