CDM Deployed at Amazon
HUGE time saver!!!
– Now with using CDM it takes 5 minutes to generate the monthly executive level report
that used to take a minimum of 3 hours to cobble together.
 CDM is rapidly becoming irreplaceable at Amazon.
– One of the Amazon team described it to me as something as essential as turning the
lights on.
 How?

OLAP
• The template forms
are replicated across
many solo and group
entities.
• Complicated /
extensive XBRL
requires forensic
review and validation.
• Data sources may not
be synchronised but
all templates need to
tie out with one
another.
• Every instance must
change when the
source changes.

Data Sources
Specific and underlying reporting problems
Modelling Engine
Risk Management
The Collaborative Problem
• Documents and information are shared on a
network drive or passed around via email, text
messages, notes or yellow sticky pads
• No version control to coordinate contributions to
the report
• No approval process or audit trail to ensure
consensus of one version of the truth
• No visibility or control over the process or
sources of information
The Cut and Paste Problem
• Reports are disconnected from their sources
• Last minute changes to actual results, budgets or
forecasts drive extensive rework
• Data integrity can be compromised
• Iterative change and control process complex to
coordinate and time consuming
The ―What Changed‖ Problem
•Executives want to understand the updates from
the previous presentation.
•FP&A wants control over the reporting process.
•What happens if a change was made incorrectly?
•Who made what changes and why?
The ―Do it Again‖ Problem
•Every month means all reports need to be
updated to reflect the current period
• Title pages
• Date references in text
• Narrative comments
• Dates that drive the data reported
• Data reported

IBM CDM
 Leverages Existing tools in Use;
Word, Excel, etc.
 Reports directly integrated with data
sources so they can be rolled forward.
Master documents can be cascaded.
 Changes dynamically updated in
reports eg numbers within text
 Provides a powerful multi-user,
collaborative environment
 Workflow and version controls deliver
process transparency
 Evidence of compliance, report
validation, access control and audit
trails reduce operational risk
 Reports driven from a single, secure
database so stakeholders and
consumers get a consistent view
 Multiple output formats
 Integrated XBRL taxonomy, XBRL
validation and pre-tagged template

How IBM Cognos Disclosure Management (CDM) addresses the problems

Abundance of
reports and
changing
requirements
Manual
time-consuming
processes
High Risk of
errors

SOURCE: The Hackett Group
Organizations are relying on outdated tools and processes to
meet mandated reporting requirements
According to 43% of banking CFOs, there are current system
limitations due to sub-optimal systems and processes

What We Deliver!
Instead of navigating
gaps in the production
of recurring reports
over and over again
Employ a
repeatable
process
Instead of manually
piecing together
Microsoft Word,
Excel and
PowerPoint files
Streamline
report

Instead of
interpreting ―just

tagging
 Time is spent on low-value work (data/text, copy/paste, editing, validation)
 Limited time for specialists to make insightful decisions
 Slow, manual, recurring process
 Facts within reports can be out of date before the report even published
 No compliance or controls during the process
Recurring, multi-author reports create the same problems

300+ customers worldwide
• Filing packages provide all the templates and XBRL connectivity that you need
• Familiar MS Office interface for ease of use
• Reduce the risk of errors with strong data integration
• Built in workflow plus full audit trail provides visibility and transparency
• Reports cascading for easier reporting of multiple subsidiaries
• Rollover capabilities reduce reporting for future cycles and provide an easy
transition between periods and mandate versions
IBM Customers that use CDM to meet mandated reporting requirements save time,
gain control and governance over the process and reduce the risk of errors.
