In today’s rapidly changing economic landscape, businesses are under constant pressure to modernize their financial information systems.
ERP transformation is a significant undertaking that presents numerous challenges. This is where an Accounting Hub can be a game-changer, streamlining your processes and optimizing your financial operations.
In this series of webinars, “Finance Talks,” we’ll delve into the three primary reasons behind ERP transformation and explore the pivotal role that an Accounting Hub plays in these crucial projects.
Why Transform Your ERP?
The reasons driving businesses to transform their ERPs are multifaceted:
- Obsolescence: Existing systems may no longer meet current needs.
- Efficiency: Optimize costs, timelines, and resource allocation.
- Compliance: Adhere to new regulations and standards (e.g., ESG, IFRS).
- Agility: Adapt to organizational and technological changes.
- Data Quality: Enhance decision-making.
The ambition of an autonomous financial information system
Finance departments are striving for a more autonomous and intelligent information system:
- Automation: Reduce manual tasks and boost productivity.
- Flexibility: Adapt swiftly to changes.
- Data Quality: Provide reliable data for strategic decision-making.
Challenges of implementing a new ERP
Implementing a new ERP is a complex endeavor:
- Duration: Return on investment may be delayed.
- Integration: Interfacing with existing systems can be challenging.
- Limitations: Benefits of the new ERP may not be immediately apparent.
The solution: An Accounting Bridge
What is an Accounting Bridge?
It’s a solution that facilitates the transition between the old and new ERP. It collects, transforms, and standardizes financial data from various sources.
How does it work?
- Collection: It retrieves data from legacy systems that remain unchanged initially.
- Transformation: It adapts this data to the format of the new ERP.
- Integration: It transfers the transformed data into the new ERP.
