Evoqua Water Technologies Success Story

Core requirements revolved around converting an Excel based model to a Financial Reporting system to manage continued growth. There was a significant need for automated and standardized management and external reporting.

The business problem

Evoqua was looking for a more intuitive financial reporting with consistent results in a more controlled and auditable environment. They required visibility to detailed transactions within data warehouse and SAP. Additionally, they also needed to automate reconciliation between both modules (GLCPA and COPA) of SAP.

“Evoqua implemented OneStream XF for financial consolidation, reporting, budgeting and forecasting,” says Rahul Nanavati, Director of Financial Systems at Evoqua. “We were able to leverage the consolidation functionality to automate intercompany eliminations in all hierarchies, currency translation and cash flow reporting. We also leveraged the core budget and forecast capabilities to perform forecasts at detailed profit center and cost center levels. Management and external reporting is now standardized with executive dashboards and Guided Reporting as well as our monthly financial reporting book.”

OneStream XF SAP Connector

“By automating SAP feeds using connectors with drill back capabilities users can now have visibility to detailed transactions within SAP via this reporting tool, something we simply could not accomplish in our previous environment,” says Nanavati. “OneStream XF delivers more detailed reporting and analytics in one unified product and application.”

Financial consolidation and reporting results

Owned by Corporate Finance, OneStream delivers powerful management and ad hoc reporting for corporate HQ and business users. OneStream XF gave Evoqua the flexibility and auditability for managing financial reporting integration of acquisitions.

The benefits of a unified platform are endless

Evoqua benefits from the value of one application that can share and extend dimensions to deliver multiple solutions without the technical complexity of having to install, implement, maintain, learn and upgrade multiple products, applications or modules. OneStream’s ability to eliminate multiple Essbase cubes as well as their financial consolidation product has been critical to simplifying the finance systems environment as well as the finance administration requirements. Evoqua has been able to realize the multiple benefits of owning a single product and application while eliminating the technical complexities of their previous solutions.

One consistent user experience

Having all solutions in a single product means end users have a consistent guided workflow process to follow no matter the process or analytic collection. All solution have similar Guided Workflows allowing Evoqua to deploy new solutions without burdening end users. End users intuitively know how to interact with all solutions to provide the highest level of data quality for every process.
