Business Objects Planning XI Support

If you are like many of our clients you probably rely on SAP Business Objects Planning XI software to help you optimize your business processes and create effective strategy. Unfortunately, SAP has decided to “sundown” their Business Objects Planning XI software in 2010-2011. This change, if not properly planned for, could result in a substantial loss in resources and profits.

If you are currently using these products you are faced with the following scenarios:

• Continued operations with a legacy product without support—this could be dangerous if you lose knowledgeable personnel, and, it is only a short-term solution;
• Purchasing a new product that will include the desired features of your current system with the latest innovations.

The banks that make this transition well will be better positioned to benefit from the recovery.
But how do you begin searching through all the vendor possibilities in the marketplace and designing the system that meets the needs of the bank your size? Rather than exhaust your internal resources on this effort, you can utilize experts to help you get this important process done right and quickly.

GNA can help you make this transition more profitable. We can review your current system and provide recommendations to help optimize your current systems and processes to increase department efficiencies until you are ready to switch. You can benefit from:

• Better access to data via automation of your report distribution;
• Greater efficiencies via improvements to your planning workbooks and process;
• More meaningful data with the development of new or enhanced reports;
• Better utilization of resources with modifications to your system for a new organizational structure or an elimination of manual processes.
