From the Inside Flap
"I believe our finance skills enable us to be great integrators. We are the bridge that connects the organization of today with the vision for tomorrow." STEVE DAVIS, VICE PRESIDENT, DOWNSTREAM BUSINESS SERVICES, EXXONMOBIL CORPORATION

From complexity to simplicity – that′s where the CFOs of today′s world–class companies are headed. Propelled by globalization and new technology, and recent accounting scandals the CFO′s role is shifting dramatically, from that of numbers interpreter to business integrator.

∗ Streamlining finance processes still further

∗ Improving analytics and decision support

∗ Managing outsourcing and external alliances

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, 20 May 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A cynic might be tempted to sneer at a book published by a major Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software vendor — specifically, SAP — urging CFOs to make better use of ERP. This software is intended to tie all business functions together in a commonly accessible bundle. Having overspent on this and other information technologies, many executives question its value. Indeed, a recent Harvard Business Review article carried in its title the blunt, provocative suggestion that, “IT Doesn’t Matter.” Well, these authors believe it matters, because the IT processes and systems that the CFO supports directly affect the bottom line. The book offers valuable case histories, specific technological and managerial counsel, informative charts and candid input from executives. It covers the CFO’s perspective on integrating information technology processes into a company’s services, supply chains, culture and analytics. Each chapter ends with a useful “CFO Checklist.” The cases are promotional and very tech-friendly, so read between the lines. This book is, after all, a marketing initiative. Still, we find the text specific, knowledgeable and worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 14 Aug 2003
By A Customer
As the third volume in a series of "CFO" publications," The CFO as Business Integrator" benefits from the author's experience gaining in writing previous books. It is well balanced, and provides an excellent overview of all aspects of business process integration. The book is centrally focused on the new role of the CFO as decision maker and integrator.
“CFO as Business Integrator” was written by a team of SAP who provide SAP's vision for Finance and Controlling. Topics addressed include: Shared Services, Intangibles, Corporate Governance, Financial Supply Chain, Integration of Planning and Portal access.
The book offers a number of case studies, enabling readers to gain insight from real-world examples. Customer studies are offered by Manfred Gentz, CFO DaimlerChrysler, Jim Daley, CFO EDS or Wolfgang Reichenberger, CFO Nestlé.
Overall the Book is a good, easy read for CFO's and provides solid information that can be used to implement stronger, more efficient business process across the entire organization, changing the role of the CFO from that of a number cruncher and gatekeeper to a consultant and profit driver.
