Improvement of automated reporting is needed
Only 16% of respondents would keep their management system unchanged, thus highlighting deep insatisfaction
towards their current system. A vast majority of 84% of respondents would like better automated reports, 63% more
investigating options, and 61% greater tool integration to prevent data re-entering. Non-value-added tasks are
avoided as much as possible, and tools are chosen for their ability to help analyze operations precisely and to
understand the link between financial data and operational reality.
