Financial Consolidation Solution: To improve the overall efficiency in preparing their financial reporting, the Client deployed an EPM solution which can drastically reduce the financial closing time, improve the data quality and automate the financial consolidation process with minimum human interaction. The project was specifically targeted to achieve:
