HP FPA software is a key component of the HP IT Financial Management solution. Actionable information is difficult to obtain. IT and the rest of the organization must work together to improve IT services. This requires a service-based approach to finance. FPA provides information in a meaningful way to business, accounting, and IT management stakeholders with prebuilt reports and ad hoc analysis. Along the way, it supports financial management process improvement by providing unprecedented visibility into process effectiveness and efficiency. CIO surveys and feedback from a wide variety of HP customers highlight the following key problems in managing IT costs today: The financially based information needed to make better IT investment decisions is difficult to accumulate Օ The data that is available is spread across many different systems, lacks key governance controls, and is not meaningful to the leaders of the business functions served by IT Putting together a comprehensive view of the cost of an IT application or a service is time consuming and expensive Օ The effort and time required to produce meaningful data means that the reports produced tend to be too infrequent or delivered later than the business would like Many companies use manually crafted spreadsheets or expensive homegrown systems to provide critical planning information for budgeting, decision support, or to prepare for chargeback. With these antiquated solutions, the cost of supporting the informational needs of business, accounting, and IT management stakeholders is high and the information quality is uncertain at best. Organizations end up spending more time gathering data than actually using it. HP FPA draws on data from multiple sources to provide easier and automated access to that data with embedded analytics, advanced graphical representations, and customizable views. Empower your organization with actionable information. HP FPA provides: Simplified integration of plan and actual cost data to help eliminate the manual effort involved in repeatedly consolidating cost data from multiple sources. Օ Self-service access to trusted information to provide each stakeholder the visibility they need. Dynamic allocation aimed at reporting at a program or a business service level to make better business decisions. Օ Multidimensional cost views to enable variance analysis, help stakeholders understand cost drivers, and deliver decision-support information. Budgeting and planning features that utilize prior data to help automate the budget building process. With prebuilt data integration, data cleansing, and a central repository for cost information, HP FPA software helps you significantly reduce the effort involved in transforming cost and budget data into easy-to-understand cost information.
