ОГК-4 (Microsoft Performance Point)

To 2008g. budgeting tasks were solved in 1C on each branch. The project on transfer of functionality of budgeting on more specialized software product as which the Microsoft Performance Point system acted started with the beginning 2008g., in parallel with the ERP project. Transfer was not followed by serious changes in the adjusted business planning processes, but allowed to receive a single system with uniform base and to begin works on integration with Erpsistemoy. Data exchange between systems was made concerning payment limits of budget items and also collecting of actual data on cash flow by budget items.

At the same time, though transition to Microsoft Performance Point became, certainly, a serious step forward, there was a number of unresolved questions. In particular, process of collecting of the fact on income and expenses by budget items and also process of mid-term planning for three years which appeared in OGK-4 only with arrival of E was not automated.   ON. Earlier in 1C, and then and in Performance Point only annual budgeting was conducted. The three-year business plan incorporates a number of production plans with natural indicators: development, losses, specific coefficients and many other things from which, in turn, financial plans form. Owing to the heterogeneity this plan had to be prepared in Excel: neither in 1C, nor in Performance Point there was no real opportunity to make it automatically.

In spite of the fact that in concern E.   ON there are no accurately formalized standards, the budgeting system was selected by tough criteria, and the choice was approved as a result by the corporate center. We considered solutions of the largest suppliers. As a result on set of such criteria as the cost and functional requirements, the predicted results and an implementation time, preference was given to IBM Cognos TM1. The contractor besides invited GMCS having examination and positive experience of product introduction of IBM Cognos in the large distributed holdings.
