CCH Tagetik implementation at Maus Frères

Satriun realised the CCH Tagetik solution implementation at Maus Frères for a unified budgeting, forecasting, planning and reporting platform with capabilities tailored to the needs of individual Business Units. The solution was rolled out in parallel with a new ERP and the optimisation of planning and budgeting processes.

Faced with Excel-based processes and a lack of integration, Maus Frères launched a transformation project in 2018 for Corporate Performance Management within the Real Estate Division. The goal was, among other things, to implement modern and powerful budget planning for the real estate and construction projects of the renowned Swiss family-owned company. With the decision for CCH® Tagetik and Satriun as implementation partner, a uniform platform was introduced that not only enables seamless ERP integration but has also elevated the planning processes as a whole to a new level.

With CCH Tagetik and Satriun we were able to significantly improve the planning and budgeting processes of the Real Estate Division. We are able for example today to handle budgets by project, shopping centre or consolidated over the whole portfolio very easily and without any detours

The result of the rapid implementation is a new solution for our group Consolidation, Statutory and Management Reporting that perfectly fits our needs.
