Evotec AG uses IBM Cognos technology for planning, reporting and analysis

Evotec AG, as a research-based biotechnical company, relies on the precise planning of business and research projects. valantic supported the company during the implementation of a new information structure for planning, analysis and reporting. The Hamburg based consultancy was able to win over the company with IBM Cognos TM1 and IBM Cognos Business Intelligence.

Now that Evotec uses these solutions, the company is able to reliably plan and analyze the business development as well as to generate simulations and forecasts.

As a result of the manual data capture process, the previous financial planning and reporting system was both labor intensive and prone to errors. Evotec needed a system that could capture company data centrally and accelerate the planning process. In addition, the new solution had to facilitate the generation of Cognos reports as well as thorough analyses and forecasts.

With the help from valantic, Evotec was able to implement its business requirements: Through the new system, planning, reporting and detailed analyses are much more reliable, quicker and more flexible. Moreover, the company benefits from the uniform and current key figures and is thus able to carry out more efficient scenario analyses and simulations. Consequently, the controlling department and management can monitor the business development and minimize risks at all times.
