For global services businesses, managing projects across geographies and subsidiaries presents a number of challenges. First, it’s hard to get a clear and timely perspective of the overall financial state of the business across divisions, geographies, projects, currencies and tax jurisdictions—even though this visibility is essential for steering business performance. There’s also the logistical challenge of minimizing bench time across business—despite fluctuating demand and opaque forecasts. Finally, managing revenue recognition and reporting within the constraints of complex locally negotiated contracts can be time-consuming and error-prone.
