The benefit of an integrated Financial-Management
consists among others in:

- Timely recognition of liquidity bottlenecks.
- The identification of potential risks
   in respect to currencies and interest rates.
- The fulfillment of outside investors‘ rating criteria.
- Active compliance with the requirements of legal   regulations such as KonTraG, Basel 2, IAS etc.

The Bottleneck aced by many enterprises today is to obtain an updated, comprehensive and above all reliable global view of the current and future liquidity situation of their business units, by simply pressing a button.
Widely publicized corporate insolvencies and the advent of the Basel II proposals are not the only factors that have elevated liquidity oriented management to its current prominence in the sphere of corporate governance.
Without enterprise-wide financial planning that also deploys information systems, the objectives extrapolated from such planning stand little chance of successful realization.

The risks entailed by a lack of knowledge about the financial situation of one‘s own enterprise are legion. Risks attached to the changes in financial markets are having a profound effect on enterprise success.

Examples for these risks are:
- Financing packages that are not optimally balanced,   making them all the more costly.
- Potential risk that is neither fully taken into account nor   actively managed.
- Inadequate conformance with legal regulations pertaining   to documentation.
- The fact that satisfying outside investors‘ appetite for   information requires such strenuous efforts.

The potential generated by professionally implemented financial planning solutions in conjunction with an enterprise-wide financial planning system is enormous, however – and, moreover, is readily demonstrable in view of the extravagant amounts of capital that are being poured into today’s enterprises and the high ROI yielded by such investments.
The deployment of Internet and Intranet technologies promotes the kind of communication process amongst various enterprise divisions that is needed in order to achieve a healthy return on investment.
