Why Upgrade Straight Talk from Customers “ Ability to issue one payment instruction to the bank for payments of invoices in multiple operating units was viewed as a huge benefit from the user community.” “ We have 60 sets of books and see tremendous efficiencies with running processes across these sets of books using Ledger Sets .” “ The ability to access multiple operating units with a single responsibility can simplify SOX compliance monitoring.” “ Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) will definitely reduce the workload and the number of people performing process related tasks. The users are very excited and the benefits of MOAC were readily visible to them.” “ Banks, taxes, payments, and accounting – everything that becomes centralized will bring tremendous efficiencies to our organization.” “ The functionality offered with Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS ), specifically the creation of physical invoices to be created for I/C transactions in Payables and Receivables eliminates many customizations in this area.” “ Centralization of subledger accounting rules would minimize set up and maintenance, providing greater financial control , and enforcing a consistent approach for true global accounting .”

Why Upgrade Straight Talk from Partners “ The new financials architecture will enable our joint clients to work globally to be more competitive, think globally to make the right decisions, and manage globally to lower cost and increase performance.” -- Brian A.

Mitchell, IBM Global Business Services Worldwide and Americas Oracle Practice Lead Executive
