Multi-Site and International Organizations
The “Parent Company”
• The parent or holding company in a corporation
• The main legal entity of the franchise/collaborative chain
The “Site”
• The individual subsidiaries of a larger legal entity
• A branch within a large corporation
• The individual legal entities of the franchise/collaborative chain
Site SiteSite
Parent Company
Typical Parent Company Objectives
The common solutions:
• Common chart of accounts• Financial consolidation in
all its aspects
• Master data management• Uniform work processes• Integrated work processes• Standards, best practices,
and uniform business concepts
The common objectives:
• Core strategy favoring integration– Central management– Local flexibility
• Fast and secure implementation
• Easy information consolidation
• Real-time data sharing• Process support for business
vision realization• Increased control of local
sites
Critical Decision FactorsSingle-Site Deployment
Solution Considerations(what the customer needs)• Platform• Technology • Product• Features• Integration• Add-On Solutions• Development• Maintenance
Deployment Considerations(what the customer gets) • Partner• Contract• Pricing• Project Management• User Involvement• Methodology• Required Skills• GAP/FIT—Pitfalls
Critical Decision FactorsMulti-Site and International Deployment
Solution Considerations(what the customer needs)• Platform• Technology • Product• Features• Integration• Add-On Solutions• Development• Maintenance
Deployment Considerations(what the customer gets) • Partner• Contract• Pricing• Project Management• User Involvement• Methodology• Required Skills• GAP/FIT—Pitfalls
Deployment considerations become increasingly more important in multi-site and international deployment decisions and requires partner expertise and framework – and in many cases – an international partner network.
Same solution? Same quality? Right partner?
Contract format? Local project management?
Same methodology?Cultural difference?Site involvement?Site resistance?
Roles?
Complexity
Sites may require the same level of solution complexity as the parent company, without having the same resources. One size does not fit all.
Specialization
Sites with specialized functions must meet specific industry or vertical requirements that differ from those of other sites and the parent company.
Location
Sites need a solution that meets local regulatory and market requirements and specific business practices which can be supported by local IT resources.
Flexibility
The organization must find a balance between core functionality and the flexibility for sites to deviate from the core functionality in order to adapt to local conditions for increased productivity. The ability to make, control, and track such changes can significantly impact TCO and upgrade deployments.
Four Key Challenges Faced by Multi-Site and International Organizations
Complexity
Designed for flexibility to adapt to unique business processes, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is easy to customize and deploy. It’s also easy to use, with a familiar interface and tools, and can be scaled and upgraded without a large IT staff. This helps to reduce TCO and increase long-term ROI.
Specialization
More than 2,700 partners can deliver specific vertical and business solutions, as attested by 57,000 customers today. More than 1,500 add-on and vertical solutions are available, and Rapid Implementation Methodology (RIM) and vertical templates reduce TCO.
Location
Companies in more than 150 countries use Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which is available in more than 40 loca-lized versions to increase productivity and meet local legal and market require-ments. Microsoft Certified local partners are available to provide local service and support around the world.
Flexibility
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is easy to customize and configure, and it can scale to changing needs as the company grows. The Upgrade Toolkit, guidelines, and RIM ease upgrades by automatically tracking and handling existing customizations.
Four Key Challenges Addressed By Microsoft Dynamics NAV
• Increase efficiency– Consolidate financial data efficiently– Enable interdivisional transactions
• Reduce costs– Cost-effectively share master data – Share services
• Make better decisions– Gain business insight across the organization– Respond proactively to business and market changes
Benefits of Microsoft Dynamics NAVSix Common Data Integration Scenarios
Consolidate Financial Data Efficiently
Issue• Scattered corporate financial data• Multiple tools used to analyze information• Time spent in sites for reporting to parent company
How Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help• Consolidate GL from sites to parent company using XBRL
(2.0) or Consolidation Functionality (IAS 2005)• Inter-company postings if both site and parent use Microsoft
Dynamics NAV
Benefits• Save time in sites (treatment)• Reduce errors and streamline financial reporting • Increase visibility and business insight at parent company
How XBRL Increases EfficiencyNo Need to Reformat Data for Each User/Purpose

m
Gain Cross-Business Insight
Issue• No consolidated view of sites at the parent company level
How Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help• Business Analytics in Microsoft Dynamics NAV enables the parent
company to gain access to all relevant information from sites
Benefits• Save time preparing reports in sites• Increase visibility and business insight at parent company
Business Insight
• Business Analytics for more efficient reporting• Microsoft SQL Server analysis services
– Sites can create OLAP cubesbased on their system data
– Easy to define/modify OLAPcubes to meet specific needs
– Employees can accessin familiar programs
Business Analytics Key Features
• Familiar user interface integratedwith users’ desktops
• Analyses tailored to your needs• Automatic e-mail report distribution
and notification• Save and reuse multiple objects
in one view• Web-enabled
Reduce Costs by Sharing Master Data
Issue• Need for master data capture and distribution to be shared by
sites and parent company (for example, item product catalogs, vendors, customers)
How Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help• XMLports easily configured to handle this task• XMLports with Microsoft BizTalk Server for more complex needs
Benefits• Increase consistency and data accuracy throughout the
organization• Save money through improved negotiation with suppliers and
reducing redundant data entry• Enhance customer satisfaction
Capabilities Of Commerce Gateway

differences in currency
Benefits• Save money by increasing service efficiency• Reduce site’s resistance to sharing

with fully integrated accounting
Benefits• Reduce administrative effort and improve customer service• Increase flexibility for extended warehousing• Enhance management and reduce costs of inventory stock
Respond Proactively to Business Events
