PROPHIX Consolidation
Financial consolidation is one of the most critical processes of an
organization. Effectively managing consolidation cycle times and shortening
statutory reporting processes without sacrificing vital controls or compliance
with laws and regulatory bodies has become of key importance to most
organizations. The ability to consolidate increasingly complex corporate
hierarchies, while managing key stakeholder relationships is fundamental to
businesses.
Why Use PROPHIX for Consolidation?
PROPHIX is a comprehensive solution that manages legal and corporate
consolidations and reporting requirements. PROPHIX goes further than the typical
consolidation suite and provides strong controls and detailed analytical
capabilities to manage the entire process.

Flexible Consolidation
Each organization is unique and has different requirements for managing their consolidation process. PROPHIX recognizes this and has designed the suite with that in mind. PROPHIX allows you to manage multiple consolidation scenarios.

Consolidate your organization based upon different requirements such as geographic region, product line, division and multiple structure versions for example, this year's results versus last year's results. This allows any finance professional the flexibility to understand the linkages between companies, divisions, products and territories.
Controlled Consolidation Process
Controlling the accuracy of data in reports involves overcoming security
concerns. Without the ability to effectively manage access to reports and
restrict data manipulation, data integrity is jeopardized.

With PROPHIX
Reporting, security issues are solved by administering user access and
monitoring audit logs. There is no need to be concerned over unauthorized
personnel manipulating data and essentially corrupting data, calculations or
reports.
Accuracy of PROPHIX Consolidation
When an organization attempts to consolidate many divisions or separate companies, it can create a host of issues. The accuracy and quality of the final numbers are vital to an organization. Typically, many organizations use a series of spreadsheets or other tools that provide limited support for consolidation.

PROPHIX eliminates this mess and allows you to manage multiple data sources and information directly. Using state of the art ETL (Extract Transform Load) processing you can easily turn multiple data sources, via ODBC, into a usable format. The result is a faster, more reliable and accurate process.
