00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.787
At the corporate level for 

2
00:00:09.788 --> 00:00:19.575
consolidation it went from one person, one full FTE for 5 days to 1 FTE for 2 days

3
00:00:19.576 --> 00:00:29.361
and more accurate results. The reduced closed-cycle for corporate consolidation

4
00:00:30.873 --> 00:00:40.767
any other time we've had to report something whether if was consolidation

5
00:00:40.768 --> 00:00:50.662
or any type of financial data there's had to be a Data Call  to all the different organizations give them time to give it back to you,

6
00:00:50.663 --> 00:01:01.558
you consolidate it, and so you have the opportunity to have errors and people are in the middle of something else and they're stopping to

7
00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:10.453
giving you what you need... so it's just a time saver to have data presented in a unified manner.

8
00:01:10.454 --> 00:01:20.349
It's having all that financial data available in 1 System where you can run trends compare a Budget to Actual without going out

9
00:01:20.350 --> 00:01:30.244
to this big Data Call, and if some opportunity comes up or some discussion.. easily being able to access

10
00:01:30.245 --> 00:01:40.140
the data that you need for reference. I would recommend it because one of their main tenants

11
00:01:40.141 --> 00:01:50.035
is training you to learn how to use the data and manage the system so that you're not always reliant on them and you

12
00:01:50.036 --> 00:01:59.931
can also,as in our case, take various, very varied types of business

13
00:01:59.932 --> 00:02:09.826
almost we viewed the most different Investments and roll them up into a consolidated fashion even though the business lines are completely different

14
00:02:09.827 --> 00:02:17.712
so that gives you a lot more flexibility.
