CDM for Narrative Performance Reporting

Collaborative pixel-perfect report production management —combining numbers with narrative. OVERVIEW Many companies have experienced growing pains in recent years with internal reporting and disclosure processes because of increasing data volumes and heavier demands from management teams and stakeholders. To produce any number of these required reports in different departments across the organization, contributors commonly work in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Hours are spent manually copying and pasting data from source systems or disparate spreadsheets, and then passing these files back and forth over insecure channels, such as email, until the reports are complete. Certent CDM is a secure, collaborative, enterprise-scalable reporting and process automation platform for recurring, multi-author reports and presentations—helping companies meet a growing list of internal reporting demands with speed and confidence. It enables users to collect enterprise data from different sources and merge it with narrative analysis in a controlled, auditable environment—and it enables finance teams to create dynamic reports that update automatically when the numbers change in underlying data sources.
