The charitable Bertelsmann Stiftung, founded by Reinhard Mohn in 1977, works on an operational level. Its goal is to promote social change. To achieve this, it takes action in Germany, but also internationally in the fields of social development, education, health, employment, culture and integration. Bertelsmann Stiftung holds a majority shareholding in Bertelsmann AG and is one of the largest operational foundations in Europe with an annual budget volume of approx. 65 million euros. The controlling of Bertelsmann Stiftung focuses on encouraging the effective management of resources and at the same time documenting the charitable use of funds. The focus lies on cost controlling and the management of staff resources; instead of contribution margins, the envisaged social effect is compared with the evaluated resources. For this purpose, financial controlling, personnel controlling and time management were to be consolidated into a one universal reporting and analytical system.

Furthermore, the Bründl Sports Group is regarded as the largest rental company of winter sports equipment in the Alps - in an absolute top location directly at the cable car stations. A Cubeware solution for integrated retail planning supports the targeted management of the successful company.

Bründl Sports Gruppe grows and continuously opens new branches. The existing Excel reporting system was therefore no longer sufficient. Above all, a professional planning tool was needed for the assortment planning of the shops. In order to be able to map the company's specific processes, the responsible controlling department decided to set up an individual planning application using Cubeware's BI software. The aim was to implement an integrated platform for strategic and operative planning, with a special focus on purchasing and store planning. The big challenge was the desired closed planning cycle, in which adjustments by the sales department are reflected in the purchasing limit planning.

Reporting with SAP Data

Essener Verkehrs-AG (EVAG) moves 300,000 passengers daily, making it one of the largest providers of local transportation in the western Ruhr region. True to the motto "Wir bewegen Essen" (We get Essen moving), around 1,800 employees ensure that passengers have access to friendly, cost-efficient mobility. EVAG manages their operational business processes with SAP R/3. However, the transaction-oriented platform is not adequate for handling the analytical controlling tasks. An OLAP solution that was originally used, a combination of the TM1 database and Microsoft Excel, was no longer able to handle the increasing demands of reporting. As a result, the existing solution was to be replaced with a controlling platform that is also capable e.g. of handling growing data volumes and presenting qualitative information.
