Financial Reporting and Analysis
In today's often uncertain economy, a complete, consolidated view of financial performance is crucial to any organization's success. But a fast-paced and volatile environment, combined with rapid merger activity, global expansion, and the development of new e-business strategies has made it increasingly difficult to combine, analyze, and distribute information about operations and finances. Additionally financial reporting regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and corporations are under more pressure than ever before to guarantee the accuracy of the financial information they provide to the investment community and the public.
WebFOCUS can securely access corporate data sources to generate advanced financial reports in HTML, Excel, or PDF format.
To meet these challenges, financial professionals at all levels - from CFOs to controllers to analysts - must be able to access and analyze real-time information located in various sources across multiple departments and business units, and deliver it to anyone, anywhere - including investors, creditors, and regulatory organizations.
Information Builders' WebFOCUS suite of business intelligence solutions provides a robust platform for financial reporting and analysis. Its powerful features satisfy the broadest range of financial information needs - enabling any user to quickly and easily turn any enterprise data into the valuable insight needed to enhance financial planning, management, and control.
