Financial Management

Increase your odds. Balance risk and performance with an integrated finance strategy.

Effective delivery is central to IBM’s financial management approach: we know what we can offer clients because we have already created our own integrated finance organisation including strategy, process, applications, infrastructure and technology.

Our financial management service areas are:

Finance transformation: IBM can help transform your finance organisation into a high value function capable of delivering transactional and decision support services to achieve the CFOs business objectives. We achieve this through a core suite of solutions which include outsourcing, shared services, organisational redesign / integration, process improvement and enabling technologies. Our solutions aim to optimise finance processes to improve operational efficiency and productivity, and utilise alternative delivery models to accelerate results.

Finance strategy: Do you have the vision, strategy and blueprint in place to support your changing business needs?

Finance strategy services are at the core of the IBM financial management solution set. Using diagnostic and strategic tools for profit improvement and modelling, IBM can help your enterprise assess its organisational effectiveness and prioritise value creation opportunities. IBM brings together strong partnerships such as with Cognos, Oracle and SAP, and an experienced team of finance executives to deliver strategy solutions for our CFO clients

Performance management and analytics: We offer our clients an enterprise-wide business intelligence approach that links strategy with performance measures using state-of-the-art technologies to cascade these measures and analysis throughout the organisation quickly and cost-effectively. We integrate informational assets from different systems across the value chain and deliver role-based intelligence to finance information consumers in a personalised manner.

Business risk management: IBM can help CFOs and CROs (Chief Risk Officers) identify, assess, manage and optimise business risks, taking a holistic approach that integrates risk and performance management, including compliance where required, as part of the overall business strategy and execution. We also provide assistance implementing controls and technology solutions for risk data aggregation, the prevention of financial crime and compliance with regulatory initiatives such as Anti-Money Laundering, Solvency II, Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II.

Finance enterprise applications such as SAP, Oracle and Hyperion, in which IBM has unrivalled knowledge, are the enablers of the Integrated Finance Organisation, standardising processes across the enterprise. Working with IBM Cognos and other alliance partners, IBM can meet an organisation's core financial systems needs.
