APPLICATION
In recent years, following the remarkable development BEP's business, the tools used have not allowed more efficient management of the increasing flow of information. In addition, the increase in the size of the law firm has brought out the need for more careful planning of internal resources and the proper allocation of cost items to the numerous ongoing projects. Given these requirements, in early 2009 Erede Pappalardo Studio Legale Bonelli has decided to introduce the company's business intelligence tools (BI) Oracle-Hyperion, with the support of the consulting firm eXstone, Partner Certificate Oracle.
In the past, the management control of BEP based its analysis primarily on spreadsheets, with a lot of time for collecting and processing information, sometimes fragmented or incomplete, from 5 locations and different accounting systems. The analysis of profitability, were very expensive and often leads to inaccurate conclusions, which required a high effort to achieve the desired level of detail.
Implementing a BI system has allowed the integration of information from different systems BEP: accounting systems (other than in the three countries), order management system, the parcel and the active cycle (the same for all sites); data management systems relativi al personale gestiti in outsourcing. Integrando i diversi sistemi, ciascuna voce di costo in ingresso all’applicativo di BI viene classificata e quantificata in base all’effettiva provenienza. Il sistema effettua poi in modo automatico l’aggregazione dei dati aggiornati in tempo reale e riclassificati secondo criteri decisi dal controllo di gestione. Attraverso Oracle-Hyperion Essbase integrato con MS Office è poi possibile condurre analisi approfondite sui costi e sulle performance aziendali, dettagliati per tutti i principali assi di analisi. Concretamente il sistema di BI consente di gestire, mediante un cruscotto custom: il bilancio consolidato riclassificato con drill down al dettaglio contabile; la contabilità analitica/centri di cost, budgets / forecasts, the costs of employees.
BENEFITS
With the adoption of the BI system, BEP has increased control over their business processes. The integration of new application with management systems, has made it possible to perform complex computations not possible previously because of the onerous process of gathering and analyzing data. time previously used for the procurement and construction of the database can now be used to carry out activities with higher added value. Through detailed reporting and analysis, management has visibility of all cost items, with data updated in real time which makes it possible to locate the sources of expenditure and more responsibility for the partners of the firm's policies toward cost containment. Finally, the accounting analysis is more precise and help to improve the planning of financial flows.
