Financial Modeling Project – “Facts”Fusion 2009/2010Current environment:
Multiple versions (no standardization) Tools lack focused support and QA Lacks integration with other tools No leveraging of tool best practicesTools require local “Excel Experts” to support Large projects cause high probability of formula errors Un-necessary hours spent checking formulas No sharing of data entry across other Solutions Tools Lacks “Customer Friendly” features

CALCs Working Group Kick Off
• Charter– Evaluate the centralized inventory of CALCs that are published as part of the playbook and catalogue
repositories.• Create functional or asset related groups of calcs with the purpose of evaluating what is missing.
Queston #1 – is our current portfolio of Calc tools sufficient / where are the holes ?
– Select groups of CALCs that represent some measure of quantifiable value to the business as targets for “improvement”, where such improvement can be in a form that will support the widest application basis across the regions, and can be ‘standardized’ in a form that will not require ‘customization’.• Prioritize those targeted groups in a manner that reflects either ease of standardization or those groups
that will yield significant business benefit from ‘gap’ filling within the group.Question #2 – where should we focus the upgrade effort ?
– Evaluate the data requirements for the ‘targeted groups’ with the intent to automate the calculation process based on referenced data links to Sol/Ar.• As part of the standardization initiative, not only will we want to address the math calculations, but also
enhance data integrity features for both input variables (source data) as well as output parameters (savings) . Question #3 – how do we ‘automate’ what is now a ‘manual’ process ?
– Create a development timeline and forecast budget requirement to improve, expand, standardize and integrate the CALCs tool into the FUSION initiative.• Must reflects the needs and interest of the REGIONS and be supported by a business case establishing
the associated risk, performance and value metrics. Question #4 - what gets done, when and how much will it cost ?
