00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:09.326
Everyday, finance departments across the globe make key strategic decisions driven off data. Whether it's historical

2
00:00:09.327 --> 00:00:20.654
trends and KPIs, industry benchmarks or even leveraging big data for predictive analytics, one concept is clear: Finance must be enabled with complete data autonomy.

3
00:00:20.655 --> 00:00:27.982
CCH Tagetik's open architecture ensures easy and bidirectional integration to any 

4
00:00:27.983 --> 00:00:37.309
data source through a variety of formats, such as database views and tables, throughout files or even direct connectors to some common source systems,

5
00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:45.637
such as Navision, SAP or even NetSuite. No matter how disparate and complicated your data landscape may be,

6
00:00:45.638 --> 00:00:55.964
as a Finance power user inside of the CCH Tagetik platform, one click is all it takes to access a library of different data loaders, 

7
00:00:55.965 --> 00:01:05.292
I can add a new ones on the fly or I can start modifying existing ones simply by going into the definition of any of the built-in attributes. 

8
00:01:05.293 --> 00:01:14.620
For instance, to change the look up table all I have to do is go into the details where I can start managing some of the inputs and the outputs

9
00:01:14.621 --> 00:01:23.940
simply by changing any of the attributes or account descriptions, in this case, without any syntax, coding or any other technical aspects.

10
00:01:25.193 --> 00:01:34.654
However, we've put data autonomy and data integration not just in the hands of power users, but also for end users, for instance an end-user

11
00:01:34.655 --> 00:01:44.116
working on one of their budgets, can pre-load or upload a lot of data sitting off-line by leveraging some of the built-in functionality such as the Quick Data Loader.

12
00:01:45.632 --> 00:01:53.838
By grabbing an Excel file or a text file right off my desktop the system can give me a quick preview in terms of my rows and my columns 

13
00:01:53.839 --> 00:02:02.045
of my Excel file in this case, as an end-user I can simply drag and drop my different columns to the different business dimensions 

14
00:02:02.046 --> 00:02:10.252
of the application or, for even easier data integration owned by end users, I can pre-load an existing preference

15
00:02:10.253 --> 00:02:18.457
and hit on the apply button and the system will do the mapping for me automatically and I can continue to run to upload my data as an end-user
