Reunert Limited has grown organically and through several acquisitions to a global enterprise with over 10Bn ZAR in revenue and +6,600 employees. Its various subsidiaries run their businesses on a variety of GL/ERP systems including SAP, Sage, Syspro, AccPac, and several AS/400-based systems. For financial consolidation, reporting, and budgeting, the organization was using an older version of SAP BPC that was never upgraded from 2008. SAP BPC was becoming costly to maintain and could not address changing business needs without a major upgrade/replacement. The finance team was heavily dependent on Excel as a front-end to SAP BPC for financial and management reporting. The application had no sub-consolidation capabilities, and intercompany transactions took two weeks to reconcile at year end. The system required a lot of manual work to create half-year financials and segment reporting. The system also required a dedicated third-party admin resource to manage it—creating a risky situation.
