Hugo Bongers

Functional Application Manager in Information Technology at Cooperatie VGZ (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses CCH Tagetik mainly for financial consolidation and reporting. We are a Top-3-health insurance-company in the Netherlands and are therefore required by law to provide i.e. the Dutch National Bank with a number of financial reports periodically. Since we have several labels in our company, consolidating all the different data into the required format is made very easy by using CCH Tagetik.

Pros

Consolidating: creating a solid report from all the different inputs.
Reporting: the data comes out exactly as we want it, how we want it.
Input: the different users can just send us their data in xslx-format, CCH Tagetik does not require a great number of users all using the tool.
The support and education possibilities are of great quality.

Cons

The learning curve is quite steep.
Sometimes the Italian terms are a bit hard to understand.

Return on Investment

Easier consolidation
Fewer or none errors
Less manual actions needed

Pros

Processes are clearly described in CCH Tagetik ; users can easily find where they are and which action they have to make
Interaction with Excel is really fluid ; the Excel add-in is easy to deploy and to updgrade, in the hand of users. It is reliable provided the internet connection is fast.
Managing hierachies is obvious in CCH Tagetik. Hierarchies are fundamental for a good reporting ; CCH Tagetik has obviously a deep experience of this feature.
SaaS : our experience with CCH Tagetik is of only 1 year, but it technically performs well, the system is reponsive, no shut-down, and updates (every quarter) do not disturb production.
AIH seems to be able to manage very large quantity of data, and to provide advanced analysis functionalities. We did not have time to explore them.

Cons

Techical tools : ETLs are well structured, logical and understandable, but their interface is quite out-dated. Compared to pure ETLs like ALTERYX, we long for a graphical interface. The HTML5 query interface (SQL) is too slow and too rough : hints on data model or field names would be appreciated.
From a personal point-of-view, I would prefer a more compact web-interface, with smaller policies and other colours. OneStream or IBM analytics seem better on this aspect. It is subjective.
Our business can be audited many years later. CCH Tagetik provides no particular improvement to restore data-sets that where used in the past (fact tables and dimensions), whilst avoiding to keep the old dimension values in the current application.
Technical performances fall dramatically when trying to include too many dimensions in a report (even when using filters) ; it is difficult to export your data in flat files with the standard reporting tool. Switch to technical tools (SQL scripts, etc) are required for a reasonable time response.

Return on Investment

CCH Tagetik makes our data model more transparent a logical ; data are easier to share
Too early to estimate a ROI
