Validation, consolidation and the preparation of large amounts of data is the cornerstone of a data-driven company.

Centralized data storage can better protect data, reduce reconciliation problems and searches, eliminate media disruptions and avoid redundancies. Only centralized, transparent data storage makes it possible to implement digitalization offensives at all.

Clever process automation can reduce your operating costs and save time.

In doing so, we often use very simple tools for master data management, e.g. Excel, Access or MySQL.

Longview announced the merger with Tidemark, an enterprise financial planning and analytics cloud software company. This consolidation combines Longview’s proven solutions with a “next generation platform”. Corporate adoption of cloud software for business planning and operations management is growing steadily.

Predictive analytics solutions offer a tangible competitive advantage in decision-making processes. The basis is no longer just data from the past, but additional forecasts for the future. A predictive analytics solution combines data from various sources, e.g. multidimensional databases, web archives, IOT data streams or classical spreadsheets. Predictive analytics solutions are able to analyze data down to the lowest level in no time at all. Manual analysis would take far too much time and money compared to manual analysis. Planning cycles can be significantly shortened because data preparation is largely automated. Using mathematical-statistical algorithms, complex, perhaps previously unknown relationships between internal and external data can be discovered and used for future forecasts. By knowing how and when certain events influence the KPIs of the company, decision-makers can recognize developments at an early stage and thus gain more planning security and valuable scope of actions. Examples of best practices: Controlling/ Finance:

• Forecast/Early Warning System for extraordinary expenses, Digital Forecast
• Fraud detection

Sales:

• Cross- and Upselling Prediction
• Recommendation Engine
• Preventing of customer fluctuation, Churn Prediction
