The Business Issue…
Investment management companies today are invested in numerous companies in a range of industries. Managing these investments’ directions and cash flows can be challenging. Where some investment companies might be in a mature phase of their existence generating positive cash flows other investment companies will require additional cash infusions. Understanding the phase of these investments and their cash positions is essential for treasury planning and the healthy growth of the company. Further, what can be expected of the strategic initiatives of these investment companies?What are the impacts of one plan over another regarding earnings, market share, and cash flows? These are the questions that faced most investment companies.
The Solution Provided by Inplenion Consulting
As with any business issue it was important to understand the real questions affecting a business. The following factors appear to be understood from the company’s investments point of view: 1) the periodic cash flows; 2) the operating performance and KPIs; and 3) the holding company’s overall treasury position.
Inplenion, the region’s premiere Oracle EPM consultancy, using Hyperion architecture devised and implemented a solution tailored to these objectives.The resulting system used Hyperion Strategic Finance to create forward looking business models for each investment company and expected future project. Customers can include their strategic plans for these companies in the system to better understand those companies’ future expected performance. Cash needs and distributions are also estimated and included. These results are then combined based on a company’s ownership level to reach an overall treasury outlook. The overall company’s expected periodic cash position can then be better planned for and managed.
The solution Inplenion created gives us much more confidence in our company’s direction and overall future cash position.” says the Corporate Performance and Treasury Director at Al Qudra. “Now, we can spend more time managing our investments and better timing the treasury aspects surrounding them. Further it helps us to integrate future projects with our overall plan and to really get a feel for the impacts on cash during the early investment years.
