Seamlessly integrate to your new cloud-based ERP with Cadency for quicker adoption and ROI

Cloud evolution continues to grow as more enterprises embrace the Cloud as the way forward for all digital solutions. This will also be accelerated as vendors start announcing the end of life of on-premise solutions — as both buyers and sellers realize the reduction of cost for Cloud solutions, in addition to the ability to further digitalize the Office of the CFO.

Now more than ever, finance operations look to move their SAP® and Oracle® ERP systems from on-premise hardware to Cloud technology.

In addition to the move to the Cloud, finance transformation teams should also take this opportunity to review their policies and processes to overcome some of the other challenges highlighted in a recent Forrester report.

Organizations should also take this opportunity to review the optimization of data flows to address the need for improved accuracy of reporting and, ultimately, enable a faster forecasting and planning process.

Challenges of Moving to the Cloud

Though extremely beneficial and necessary, migration to the Cloud requires enormous planning and coordination from various teams in the following areas:

• Extensive data migration efforts
• Workflow/process transformation
• System testing/user adoption testing
• Secure access to data
• User training

Trying to juggle these challenges can increase the risk of not accomplishing your financial close on time and could even lead to inaccuracies in your reporting.

Make the Move Easier with Cadency® by Trintech

Cadency by Trintech can significantly help with this longer transformation journey and enable the Office of Finance to build a future proof technical solution that will enable the Office of Finance to become a value-adding partner to the commercial organization.

Smart Controls within Cadency can not only help identify the risks of these inaccuracies but also keep you and your team on track as you embark on your ERP transformation. For this transition to be as painless and risk free as possible, we would recommend taking advantage of the Smart Controls and Smart Data within Cadency and adjusting to the best practices we help implement with our system.

This would include:

• Keeping track of all your tasks in Cadency Close to ensure that you are completing all the necessary items in your financial close on time.
• Importing your transaction data into Cadency Reconciliation Match using one of our dedicated ERP Connectors to handle your high-volume transaction matching.
• Use the ERP Connectors to import your accounts into Cadency Reconciliation Certify to then start reconciling those accounts.
• If journal entries need to be posted, you can then handle these within Cadency Journal Entry and get real-time confirmation of your postings with the ERP Connector.

Once you have that increased insight into your financial close, you can be comfortable knowing that those risks mentioned earlier will be mitigated while you tackle your migration. Once you have fully migrated to your new Cloud ERP, there is no need to worry about integration, because we are now supporting SAP® S4/HANA Cloud and Oracle® Fusion as part of our ERP Connector offering.
