Process
Step One: Data Access (4 Days)
In this first step, we will access and capture the Chart of Accounts reference information from your ERP system to establish and populate our financial reporting metadata repository. We do this with standard ETL procedures to access the ERP resident information, which includes account numbers, account descriptions, and account parents.
Step Two: Refresh Schedule (1 Day)
In step two, we will implement a data refresh schedule for the extract and load process to update the cross-reference table on a regular basis.
Step Three: Report Development (35 days)
During the final step, we will create technical specifications, and develop, test, and deploy up to seven financial reports. Additional reports, features, options, and other functionality may be incorporated for additional fees following the initial implementation.
