WHY?
Finance and business units use
different data from contexts that
don’t align.
Finance gets data from Operations,
which is incomplete and lacks
context.
Static reports lack the depth to
pinpoint action or foster trust.
Typical expense reporting doesn’t
have sufficient details to identify the
sources of variance.

MATCHUP, SO IT FINANCE IS NOT
ABLE TO PROVIDE ITWITH RELEVANT
AND ACTIONABLE DATA.

5. Automated
Spend less time manipulating data
and spreadsheets, and more time driving
value-added analysis. Accelerate financial
review processes from hours to minutes.
Deliver variance reports in hours, not days.
Empowered
Empower accountability among project
and tower owners to better manage their
budgets. Report variance in the context
of projects and towers where source and
corrective measures are easier to find.
Credible
Improve credibility with the business via
fact-based conversations about cost drivers
and units.
Actionable
See how budgets relate to services and
projects before making adjustment
decisions. Course correct budgets more
quickly and precisely to avoid disruptions
from dramatic cuts.
