Executive Summary Results with Sage Intacct: • Easy financial consolidations across multiple currencies • Real-time visibility into multi- entity and global organization KPIs Challenges Managing the Financials of a Sprawling Global Organization TM Forum is a global industry association for digital business. With subsidiaries and satellite offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Greece, Malaysia, and China, TM Forum needed to fuse the financial operations of its sprawling organization. The 15-year-old trade group sought a cloud-based solution to simplify IT requirements and reduce the capital expenditure associated with packaged so ware and in-house systems. Functionality, however, could not be sacrificed. TM Forum needed a solution that could handle multiple currencies and custom reports, and allow remote staff from around the world to easily collaborate. And with a growing presence around the globe, scalability and business process automation also became key requirements. Solutions Gaining the Flexibility and Efficiency of the Cloud To manage the financials of its global organization, TM Forum selected Sage Intacct's cloud-based financial management applications — the solution with the most comprehensive multi-entity and multi-currency support. Through Sage Intacct, TM Forum can manage the financial operations of all its subsidiaries. Business managers can do side-by-side comparisons and top-to-bo om reviews to gauge the organization's financial health.

"Sage Intacct gave us the robust functionality you expect of major so ware brands such as Microso and Oracle, but at a fraction of the price," said Jim Metzger, CFO of TM Forum. "Financial so ware as a service alone wouldn't solve our problems. Sage Intacct allows us to manage a global, diversified organization over the Web."
