5 Considerations for increasing the value of your investment.
Over the years, we have been asked by CCH Tagetik customers to help them find ways to maximize the value of their existing CCH Tagetik investments. This post describes the 5 most common factors limiting CCH Tagetik’s use. If you recognize any of these, you also may have untapped potential.
1. An abundance of consolidation scenarios Tagetik stores entity data in an original scenario. When consolidating a certain scope of entities, this data is copied, translated and consolidated in a consolidation scenario. We noticed that some CCH Tagetik users were creating and maintaining dozens of consolidation scenarios per calendar year. We advise customers to refrain from using consolidation scenarios unless there is the explicit need for external disclosure, for example in an annual report.

This raises the question, “How wise is it to combine both sources in a single income statement view in CCH Tagetik by applying custom dimensions on the income statement accounts?”.
