Results of our work
Their specific application landscape requires a set of complicated integrations for Dynamics to consume and process data into the General Ledger. We have delivered an integration design to cater to these requirements. We used Informatica as the middle ware solution.
As a result of the solution applying dimensions and tags. the general ledger can report in a greater level of detail. to support the BFC requirements.
The SK-Soft module will lead to a much simpler implementation of treasury processes.
