And report back to multiple stakeholders:

A Better Way: Intacct Dimensions

Intacct dimensions are attributes that allow for comparative (cross-tab) and hierarchical (drill-down) organization of key information

It enables categorization of a single element with multiple attributes for complex analysis and comparison

Dimensions allows users to easily access data with context

The Difference with Dimensions

Area of Benefit Drivers Examples

Flexibility to Plan and Manage Based on Attributes Tailored to Any Business or Industry

Ability to capture a more granular level of operational and financial data tailored to the business

No need for costly 3rd party reporting or data warehousing

solutions = $1,000’s to $100,000’s in savings

Increased Finance Productivity Automation of reporting

No need to manually capture, aggregate and manipulate data in Excel to produce reports

1 FTE = $150k/annual savings

Better Reporting and Visibility Real time visibility into the business

Improved multi-dimensional analysis with drill down to transactional level detail

More informed decisions

Faster time to results; take advantage of opportunities now not later when offline reports are made available

More Efficient Information Distribution

Anyone, anytime, anywhere can access real time, consistent information

Improved operational productivity. For a $20M organization, a ~1% improvement provides a

~$200k benefit
