The precise planning of numerous research projects, as well as the targeted monitoring of costs, revenues, and market developments are all the more important for Evotec. The previous budgeting and reporting system was time-consuming and prone to errors due to manual data entry processes. Evotec needed a system that centrally gathers corporate data and speeds up the planning process. Also, the new solution should enable the creation of meaningful reports and in-depth analyses and forecasts. Planning: safely, quickly, and with vision thanks to IBM Cognos TM1 Evotec will benefit from a fully integrated financial planning. The solution enables the processing of large volumes of business data and centralized planning in a consolidated planning system. Planners in the Group companies, as well as controller at the Office have access to consistent business data that is aggregated into a data warehouse. Data from the ERP system are continuously loaded into the new solution so users always current work with Numbers.

So, Evotec can answer a wide range of issues during the planning: what does a lower or higher dollar exchange rate? How affect a new research collaboration or the acquisition of certain company specifically on the business development? Reports and analysis at your fingertips at the same time Evotec with IBM Cognos 8 BI has increased the depth of evaluation at the corporate management significantly. The solution also accesses the data warehouse, and provides this up-to-date and consistent information. Automated sales – project reports provide information about the current status of individual research projects, evaluate usage costs or graphically represent the chronological sequence. Dashboard and cockpit functionality provide the quick overview. Also, the reporting is closely interlocked with the planning: plan data are automatically transferred to the data warehouse to consummate planning and are then available for comparisons or scenarios available. In addition, IBM Cognos 8 BI offers plenty of room for individual evaluations. Via drill-down analysis controller can dive deeper into the data dimensions and, for example, analysis of variances perform. What society has which extra costs? Why does it take a longer than planned research project? The data can be located quickly filter according to the desired dimensions, as regions, quarters, or companies.

So users can look at trends over time, isolate individual aspects and study up on the level of detail. Evotec, overall, can this more closely monitor the overall business development and are react more flexibly to a wide range of developments. Thanks to the expert advice of novem business applications Evotec has implemented their business requirements: planning, reporting, and detailed analyses are the new system considerably more reliable, faster and more flexible. Throughout the duration of the project has us novem business applications supported. The consultants have proved much technical know-how, quickly captures the business requirements of Evotec and found a suitable solution for every problem”, Holger Scheel accounted for.

“How can a training/seminar be made, so that the participants are even after the training in the location, to implement the Erlente knowledge?” It goes after the proprietor, Andrea day, the answer is relatively simple: not only the content of a training/seminar is crucial, but rather the targeted methodological approach and a sustainable care of participants in terms of a transfer accompaniment is a not too underestimated factor. Particularly in longer lasting training or Apprenticeships trainers and hence the methodology vary depending on the module, but also lack of communication prevented for the training period for a systemic viewing and how. KPuM consists of a small circle of experts, who have a similar approach, have for many years acquired expertise specifically in the skills development and (also in modular-based seminars), a transparent communication can take place. The high practical relevance of the seminars and workshops based on the current output stands of participants, a clear definition of objectives and a result-oriented way of working. So the acquired knowledge for the participants is quickly available. Only a competent coach in the right place and a transfer security tailored to the participants can significantly increase the success of a team or a company.
