"In the midst of all these uncertainties, the CFO can play a strong central role, along with fellow executives, in stabilizing the business and positioning it to develop when conditions improve. In addition, the CFO is the leader, who contributes most directly to the financial health and resilience of the company's daily organizations. "

-McKinsey-

Friend of Edsen, As uncertainty increases and the impact of COVID-19 becomes more permanent, it is very important for businesses to be proactive in assessing the ability to withstand disruptions, as well as options for identifying - and responding to - potential opportunities.

The role of the CFO in the midst of the development of Pandemic Covid 19 in a company's business processes is very important. One of them is to develop projections for long-term impacts without a clear recovery schedule. In addition, a CFO also needs to shorten the time to do some series of analysis and future plans.

For this reason, a scenario is needed to model the appropriate options and actions. In addition, a CFO also needs to collaborate in targeting future financial implications and results of the company's main business. CFO confidence is also needed in anticipating the right steps to optimize revenue, costs, and profits, and shift decision making from reactive to proactive.

Anaplan can be a solution that can help the CFO and the company's financial team get clarity from complexity, adapt to disruptions and be ready to face all possibilities. Anaplan can be relied upon as agile planning by displaying data that contains scenario management for quick and optimal decision making. In addition, with Anaplan the company can control predictable income, manage profitability, manage costs and cash flow.

Anaplan can also systematically optimize the financial performance of all companies. Utilizing Anaplan as the platform of choice for the company's business will enable each division within the company to be interconnected and enable financial and operational reports to continue to create new models, plan, collaborate, adapt, and optimize financial statement performance.

In addition, Anaplan can also make strategic planning to put your company's business in the best position and be able to keep abreast of world economic developments in the future. Anaplan introduces a new future of work and visibility to manage liquidity and cash flow.

Connected planning technologies such as Anaplan can help achieve transformation by first linking the planning process in the finance department before finally connecting plans throughout the company.

Companies that have implemented Anaplan can continue to analyze business performance, making real-time adjustments to forecasts and plans amid fluctuating market conditions such as the current pandemic corona. In addition, the team can directly communicate the impact of change to the entire business.

Friend of Edsen, As coronavirus cases soared, so did the number of companies asking their employees to work from home, with most businesses implementing a long-distance employment policy in mid-February. While telecommuting has become more mainstream in recent years.

It's important to digitally change our workplaces and education so that we can operate effectively. Companies that can use technology well to keep going and rethink their business models for the future by tracking digital transformation will be at the forefront of their competition.

Friend of Edsen, Is your company currently having difficulties with the use of spreadsheets with limited functions? In the digital age where all the company's business processes are connected to each other, the use of spreadsheets seems to be starting to be tiring due to error-prone and ineffective. 
 
In this article, we try to review the 5 weaknesses of business processes that still use spreadsheets. 
 
1. Risk of Human Error  
​
Errors in inputting data made by very large employees occur when companies use spreadsheets. This is of course very risky and can have a chain effect ranging from the obstruction of financial statements making up to the delay in making strategic business decisions by the management and directors. Therefore, company data input using spreadsheets is considered to be ineffective due to the human error factor committed by employees within the company. 
 
2. Business processes are carried out manually 
 
The use of spreadsheets in a company makes business processes done manually like you have to input the company's manual data into a spreadsheet, not to mention other divisions in the company that have to do the same thing. Assets that are owned by the company certainly are not small and you can not input data assets at a time. This process will also be more difficult if the company's assets frequently move locations so information about these assets must always be updated according to the latest conditions. 
 
3. Without Connectivity 
 
One weakness of spreadsheets is the lack of connectivity. When one division in the company input data then this is not connected to the data in another division. This of course will hamper the company's business processes, especially in terms of making the company's annual financial statements. 
 
4. Inaccurate Data 
 
Another disadvantage of using this spreadsheet is that the data inputted is sometimes inaccurate. Take for example, if the company has entered complete asset information but does not record changes in asset information, there is a risk of inaccurate asset information. Especially if the previous asset information is not updated. This will result in an audit when the end of the year arrives. 
 
5. Takes a Long Time for Data Reconciliation 
 
At the end of the year, the company will close its books and audit activities. The audit process is comparing the previous data with the results during the audit. Reconciling between divisions within the company using spreadsheets certainly takes a long time because they have to compare one by one the existing data. 
 
With the weaknesses of spreadsheets, many companies have switched to using a connected planning platform that has a financial, strategic and operational solution for the company. These benefits include better control over company data, increased collaboration and productivity, reducing errors, speeding up business processes, simplifying data management, and the ability to make business more proactive and agile. 
 
Companies that link their plans can work through the planning process faster, plan and correct courses more often, and achieve higher visibility throughout their business. 

Connected planning technologies such as Anaplan can help achieve transformation by first linking the planning process in the finance department before finally connecting plans throughout the company. 
 
Companies that have already implemented Anaplan can continue to analyze business performance, making real-time adjustments to forecasts and plans in the midst of fluctuating market conditions such as the current pandemic corona. In addition, the team can directly communicate any impact of the change to the entire business. 
 
Edsen Consulting as a consulting company has an Anaplan planning platform as one of the services that can give your company the strength and flexibility to plan your business area, enabling collaborative decision making to drive increased business performance throughout the company. 

​Friend of Edsen, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently published an article explaining interesting opportunities in corporate financial planning. With direct insights gathered from heads of finance from various industries, this article reviews some of the reasons why CFO directs their teams to abandon spreadsheets for the sake of cloud-based planning platforms.

In this article entitled "Head of Finance: Stop Using Excel", the heads of finance explain some of the shortcomings of using spreadsheets such as the laborious manual process of making a financial report. They seem to realize that in the world of business acceleration, planning and decision making must be connected in the financial and business operations they support.

Mark Garrett, chief financial officer at the Adobe software company, Inc., explained that the shortage of spreadsheets caused his team to struggle to track which jobs had been filled. He explained, the process could take days and requires his financial team to extract data from different systems.

"I don't want people who plan their finances to spend their time importing and exporting and manipulating data," he told WSJ. "I want them to focus on what the data says to us."

The use of spreadsheets has recently become an obstacle for the company's business processes. In addition to slowing down business processes, the use of spreadsheets is also error-prone, rigid and without connectivity. This of course makes the data processing process takes a long time even for months.

Later, the heads of finance began to switch to using a cloud based planning platform that has many advantages such as increased collaboration and better data transparency that can increase the productivity of their business.

They illustrate the financial, strategic and operational benefits that they get with the planning platform. These benefits include better control over company data, increased collaboration and productivity, reducing errors, speeding up business processes, simplifying data management, and being able to be more proactive and agile.

In fact, even greater benefits await because companies use planning platforms to link plans - both in the financial function, and throughout the business for sales, supply chain, and several other functions.

Companies that link their plans can work through the planning process faster, plan and correct courses more often, and achieve higher visibility throughout their business.

Connected planning technologies such as Anaplan can help achieve transformation by first linking the planning process in the finance department before finally connecting plans throughout the company.

Its flexible modeling platform can connect various processes with business drivers related to demand plans, and align corporate objectives with financial plans and operational tactics.

The financial team that has implemented Anaplan in his company can continue to analyze business performance, making real-time adjustments to forecasts and plans amidst fluctuating market conditions such as when the pandemic corona is like now. In addition, the team can directly communicate any impact of the change to the entire business.

Friends of Edsen, since the middle of March the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially established the covid 19 virus as a pandemic. The rapid spread of the virus turned out to have a profound impact on various sectors including the business world.
​
A recent survey by Gartner showed that only 12% of the more than 1500 respondents believed their business was well prepared for the effects of coronavirus, while 26% believed that the virus would have little or no impact on their business.
​
 "This lack of trust shows that many organizations approach risk management in an outdated and ineffective way," said Matt Shinkman, Vice President in the Gartner Risk and Audit practice. "Organizations that are best prepared will manage disruptions caused by coronavirus far better than their counterparts who are less prepared." He added.

As quoted from www.gartner.com, the majority of respondents (56%) rated themselves somewhat ready, and 11% said they were relatively unprepared. Only 2% of respondents believe their business can continue as usual.

Highlighting a variety of businesses that could be affected by the plague, twenty-four percent of respondents expected a little disruption, while the majority expected business to continue but at a slow pace (57%), would be severely restricted (16%) or had to be stopped altogether ( 1%).

Only three months to a year of global outbreaks and the rapid spread of the new corona virus have sent shock waves throughout the industry, market and economy. As a result, the strategies developed in the last months of 2019 are largely outdated and on the contrary business is determined by the company's ability to transform and adapt in real time to unstable and unprecedented disruptions such as the corona virus.

Then, in a global economic landscape where change is the only constant, a surprising number of companies still rely on long-term planning and take longer to incorporate impactful market changes.

Opening Business Agility
The first three months of 2020 have proven, however, business agility is crucial for success and companies must be far more agile than ever before. Market forces have shortened the planning cycle, making decision-making times almost zero and obsolete long-term planning.

Businesses that are transforming by adopting a more agile and smart planning approach can help companies rediscover the way they operate in the midst of a pandemic corona virus. By removing manual, time-consuming processes and creating a single source of truth for data throughout the company, smart planning solutions encourage collaboration and encourage end-to-end visibility. That means that at certain times, leaders have a clear view of their entire business and understand how decisions in one part of the organization impact on another.

With increased productivity and integrated decision making, businesses can react quickly to disruptions and encourage sustainability in a rapidly changing market.
Companies use smart and agile planning to balance the rapidly developing global regulatory landscape so they can quickly reconcile regulatory changes back into their financial planning and budgeting.

Future of Planning
Companies that carry out business transformation with smart planning enable businesses to continue to change according to market demand. Decision makers can model various scenarios, working with all potential variables to understand the impact of sudden changes that might occur on the bottom line of their organization. Leaders can feel confident acting quickly and decisively in the midst of disturbances like the current Pandemic.

The need for agile business operations cannot be denied because companies are increasingly determined by their ability to react and respond to uncertainty. In 2020 and beyond, agile organizations that can plan in real-time will be better equipped to navigate disruptions, encourage sustainability and adapt to success amid a rapidly changing business environment.

2020 also seems to show that businesses that can plan in real time will have the best chance to stay ahead of instability. Turning volatility into value is not an easy task, but abandoning long-term plans and adopting Connected Planning solutions gives business leaders the advantage speed. Smart, collaborative, and executed with precision.

The Connected Planning approach empowers businesses with their clearest and most accurate vision of the future in any market condition so they can confidently develop and progress in 2020.

Edsen Consulting as an IT consulting company is the only consultant in Indonesia that has Anaplan services, a platform that can do planning and budgeting and Connected Planning and can give your company the strength and flexibility to plan your business area, enabling collaborative decision making to drive improvement business performance throughout the company.

Sahabat Edsen, tahun 2020 ini akan menjadi tahun baru yang penuh dengan tantangan dan ketidakpastian. Salah satunya pandemi corona virus yang  menyebabkan gangguan ketidakstabilan pasar.

Bisnis yang cenderung melompat pada tahun 2020 adalah bisnis yang beradaptasi dengan cepat untuk berubah dan terus menciptakan diri mengubah ketidakpastian menjadi keunggulan kompetitif. Namun, dalam lanskap ekonomi global di mana perubahan adalah satu-satunya yang konstan, sejumlah perusahaan yang mengejutkan masih mengandalkan perencanaan jangka panjang dan membutuhkan waktu berminggu-minggu atau lebih lama untuk membuat perubahan pasar yang berdampak.
​
Waktu untuk Perencanaan Real Time adalah Sekarang

Di masa lalu, rencana jangka panjang didasarkan pada prospek tiga hingga lima tahun, di mana para pemimpin bisnis mempertimbangkan lanskap pasar saat ini dan melakukan yang terbaik untuk membuat prediksi tentang masa depan yang sering kali mengandalkan data historis. Rencana-rencana ini sebagian besar tidak berubah untuk periode waktu yang lama — terlepas dari perubahan pasar — ​​yang membuat data tidak updated dan wawasan yang digunakan untuk mendorong keputusan tidak cukup.

CEO Domino, Richard Allison, berbicara tentang matinya rencana jangka panjang. "Kami percaya bahwa kondisi pasar yang berkembang dan ketidakpastian yang dihasilkan telah mengurangi relevansi pandangan tiga tahun menjadi lima tahun."

Jika ada satu hal yang kami pelajari di 2019, kelincahan bisnis sangat penting untuk kesuksesan. Jadi mengapa menjalankan risiko memiliki rencana jangka panjang menjadi usang dalam beberapa hari pertama eksekusi?

Kekuatan pasar telah memperpendek siklus perencanaan, membuat waktu pengambilan keputusan menjadi hampir nol dan menjadikan perencanaan jangka panjang menjadi usang. Organisasi harus jauh lebih gesit dari sebelumnya untuk menjadi sukses sekarang dan di masa depan.

Tahun ini, para pemimpin bisnis harus membatalkan jadwal perencanaan jangka panjang mereka demi pandangan yang lebih pendek, lebih tepat, dan yang akan membantu mendorong pertumbuhan.

Untungnya, platform Connected Planning berbasis cloud dapat membantu pembuat keputusan melakukan hal itu.

Efek Perencanaan Terhubung

Seperti dikutip dari Anaplan Blog, Connected Planning dapat membantu perusahaan menemukan kembali cara mereka beroperasi dengan meningkatkan produktivitas dan menyatukan pengambilan keputusan sehingga mereka dapat bereaksi dengan cepat terhadap gangguan, mendorong bisnis mereka ke depan, dan mendapatkan keuntungan dari pesaing di pasar yang terus berubah.

Menurut CFO di sebuah perusahaan jasa profesional multinasional teratas, “tujuan kami adalah cukup gesit untuk menghadapi semua perubahan yang kami hadapi. Jika Anda berpikir tentang globalisasi, tentang lanskap peraturan yang berkembang, tentang keunggulan teknologi, kami membutuhkan kerangka kerja di mana kami dapat mencapai tujuan itu. "

Perusahaan menggunakan platform Anaplan untuk mengimbangi lanskap peraturan global yang berkembang pesat sehingga dapat dengan cepat memasukkan perubahan regulasi kembali ke dalam perencanaan dan penganggaran keuangannya.

Connected Planning menghilangkan cara manual. Connected Planning merupakan perencanaan jangka panjang dengan memusatkan seluruh organisasi pada satu platform berbasis cloud, dan memungkinkan tim di seluruh organisasi untuk bekerja dari satu sumber kebenaran. Itu berarti bahwa pada waktu tertentu, para pemimpin memiliki pandangan yang jelas ke seluruh bisnis mereka dan memahami bagaimana keputusan di satu bagian organisasi berdampak pada yang lain.

Connected Planning memungkinkan bisnis untuk terus membuat rencana ke depan. Pembuat keputusan dapat memodelkan banyak skenario, bekerja dengan semua variabel potensial untuk memahami dampak perubahan pasar di masa depan terhadap garis bawah organisasi. Para pemimpin dapat merasa percaya diri dalam keputusan mereka.

Nilai perencanaan terhubung hampir tidak terbatas terutama mengingat kelincahan yang dibutuhkan bisnis untuk berhasil menavigasi lingkungan yang semakin bergejolak. Menurut sebuah studi Dampak Ekonomi Total Forrester baru-baru ini yang dibiayai Anaplan, berinvestasi dalam satu alat Perencanaan Terhubung menciptakan reaksi berantai dari perbaikan. Studi ini menemukan, hanya dalam tiga tahun, sebuah organisasi gabungan yang menggunakan platform Anaplan's Connected Planning akan merasakan manfaat $ 21,4 juta, pengembalian investasi sebesar 324%.

Resolusi Perencanaan untuk tahun 2020

Ketidakpastian menjadi pusat perhatian pada 2019, dan tahun 2020 pun tidak jauh berbeda. Bisnis yang dapat membuat perencanaan secara real-time akan memiliki peluang terbaik untuk tetap berada di depan ketidakstabilan.
Mengubah volatilitas menjadi nilai bukanlah tugas yang mudah, tetapi meninggalkan rencana jangka panjang dan mengadopsi solusi Perencanaan Terhubung memberi para pemimpin bisnis keuntungan kecepatan. Cerdas, kolaboratif, dan dieksekusi dengan presisi. Pendekatan Connected Planning memberdayakan bisnis dengan visi masa depan mereka yang paling jelas dan paling akurat dalam kondisi pasar apapun sehingga mereka dapat dengan percaya diri berkembang dan maju pada tahun 2020 ini.

Edsen Consulting sebagai perusahaan konsultan IT menjadi satu-satunya konsultan di Indonesia yang memiliki layanan Anaplan  yakni sebuah platform yang dapat melakukan planning dan budgeting serta Connected Planning dan dapat memberi perusahaan Anda kekuatan dan fleksibilitas untuk merencanakan area bisnis Anda, memungkinkan pengambilan keputusan kolaboratif untuk mendorong peningkatan kinerja bisnis di seluruh perusahaan.

Sahabat Edsen, ERP merupakan sistem yang terintegrasi dan digunakan oleh perusahaan untuk perencanaan pemanfaatan sumber daya dengan menggunakan perangkat komputer yang terintegrasi. Selain itu, ERP juga dikembangkan berdasarkan modul-modul fungsional yang digunakan untuk setiap jenis operasi dan dapat disesuaikan dengan jenis kegiatan di perusahaan. Misalnya, modul accounting merupakan modul yang digunakan untuk menangani proses pembukuan hingga pelaporan kinerja finansial di sebuah perusahaan.

Tidak hanya modul acconting, dalam sistem ERP juga ada modul-modul lain yang berbeda, namun biasanya ada beberapa modul dasar yang dimiliki oleh sistem ERP yang canggih. Fungsi dari modul-modul dasar ini dinilai penting bagi berbagai jenis perusahaan.

Berikut ini adalah beberapa modul yang patut Anda pertimbangkan ketika memilih sistem ERP.

Accounting (Akuntansi)

Modul akuntansi berfungsi mengelola arus kas yang masuk dan keluar dalam suatu perusahaan. Modul akutansi juga membantu perusahaan menangani berbagai transaksi akuntansi seperti pengeluaran, neraca, buku besar, rekonsiliasi bank, penganggaran, manajemen pajak. Laporan keuangan perusahaan dapat dibuat hanya dengan beberapa klik dengan modul ini.

CRM

Modul CRM (Customer Relationship Management) membantu meningkatkan kinerja penjualan melalui layanan pelanggan yang lebih baik dan membangun hubungan yang sehat dengan pelanggan.

HRM

Modul ini membantu mengelola informasi karyawan seperti penilaian kinerja, deskripsi pekerjaan, keterampilan, kehadiran, cuti, dan lain-lain. Manajemen Penggajian merupakan salah satu sub modul yang paling penting dalam modul HRM yang befungsi untuk mengelola gaji, biaya perjalanan, dan pengembalian biaya.

Sales (Penjualan)

Modul ini berfungsi menangani alur kerja penjualan seperti pertanyaan penjualan, penawaran, sales order, dan faktur. Integrasi modul Penjualan, dan CRM dapat mempercepat siklus penjualan dan menghasilkan keuntungan lebih besar bagi perusahaan.

Inventory (Inventaris)

Modul inventaris berguna untuk melacak dan mengelola stok barang di perusahaan termasuk memantau tingkat persediaan, menjadwalkan pengisian ulang, melakukan forecasting dan membuat laporan inventaris.
