New Solution Delivers Foreign Exchange Exposure Data from Leading ERP Systems in Seconds
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FiREapps, the leading provider of foreign exchange exposure management software, announced a new webinar event focused on how multinational corporations can reduce business costs related to foreign exchange surprises by leveraging data within existing SAP ERP, Oracle E-Business, Peoplesoft Enterprise or JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems.
Entitled, “ERPs & Foreign Exchange: How to Calculate and Manage FX Exposure ASAP,” the webinar will explore more efficient and accurate automated processes that enable corporate treasurers to generate complete data sets and calculate foreign exchange exposures quickly and easily. FiREapps automates the process of aggregating business system data to derive actionable transaction currency information for foreign exchange exposure management in seconds, rather than days.
“Multinational corporations struggle to get complete foreign exchange exposure data out of their ERP systems, and often, the exposure calculations they derive from that data is suspect,” said Wolfgang Koester, CEO of FiREapps. “Through FiREapps, we have created a solution for treasury departments that leverage their ERP systems to provide quick and simple access to the transaction data they need to quantify and manage foreign currency volatility.”
Relying on manual processes, experienced treasurers find that they are unable to derive complete and accurate transaction currency data from their ERP systems in a timely manner. The common use of spreadsheets to calculate foreign exchange exposures based on this data introduces errors and uncertainties into the process. As a result, most treasury departments are unable to understand the sources of their exposure, or adequately protect their company from foreign currency volatility. FiREapps enables corporate treasurers to efficiently access transaction currency data from ERP systems in a way that allows them to focus more of their energies on the root causes of foreign exchange exposures – by entity and at the transaction level.
“Before using FiREapps the process to compile an exposure data set from Oracle was entirely manual,” said Brent Callinicos, vice president and treasurer for Google, Inc. “FiREapps was quick and easy to install and has given us centralized and constant access to all foreign currency exposure data throughout our business units. We can now devote our time to strategically managing exposures.”
The “ERP systems & Foreign Exchange: How to Calculate and Manage FX Exposure ASAP” webinar will be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 pm EST. Participants will learn about the challenges that companies face managing transaction currency data within their ERP system, and how to overcome them with an automated solution
