Introducing Master Data Management 2006-12-20 14:28:54 Forrester Research

Challenges Facing Organizations With Local and Global Reporting Requirements 2006-12-01 01:00:18 Elite Management Consulting

Consistent reporting on a global basis for complex international enterprises is a significant challenge. Requirements as diverse as management and external reporting as well as the absence of a single data source make it difficult for organizations to support a single global framework or model.

The challenge that organizations face is to distinguish between the global model and the additional requirements that support the local needs and to deploy a global framework accordingly. The examples given in this paper illustrates how the global framework supports financial reporting and where the framework must be flexible to support local needs.
