Proalpha Group's ten questions to assess digitalization in controlling

ERP software provider proALPHA has issued a list of ten questions designed to help companies evaluate their progress in digital transformation, particularly within finance and controlling departments. The questions aim to provide controlling managers with insights into their current standing and identify areas for improvement.

Key themes addressed include analyzing big data with suitable tools, ensuring data quality, and conducting multi-dimensional analyses with sufficient depth. proALPHA emphasizes the need for a unified reporting system and centralized master data management to avoid conflicting sub-plans and data chaos.

The list also examines the role of Excel in controlling, noting its susceptibility to errors and time-consuming nature compared to specialized systems. proALPHA further questions the speed at which current issues can be addressed, considering shrinking staff numbers and increasing demands for responsiveness.

Additionally, the publication covers management consolidation and reporting accessible via mobile devices. The company suggests that as work becomes more mobile and distributed, the flexibility and accessibility of analysis tools are becoming essential.
