Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC) is highly diversified with five lines of business: industrial services, government services, petroleum distribution, tourism, and construction. BBNC also manages investments in private equities and commercial real estate. "One of our main challenges was consolidating data from 80-plus entities in a timely and accurate way," said French. "We had to find a solution that could easily draw data from a diverse range of accounting and ERP systems. We also needed a solution that was easy to maintain and could address the ongoing changes in our very dynamic business." According to French, BBNC has an average of 12 new business acquisitions, investments, and/or wholly owned subsidiaries each year.

During the one-hour presentation, French will detail the six-month implementation process, completed about a year ago. He'll also cover topics such as business requirements, selection considerations, project scope, and results.

"Because our business users are so familiar with Excel, Tagetik's Excel interface is a big advantage and has expedited adoption," said French. "Besides decreasing our consolidation time by approximately 60 percent, we've also been able to significantly streamline our consolidation and reporting processes." BBNC is also using Tagetik for corporate budgeting; the company expects to use the solution for corporate-wide forecasting and line-of-business reporting within the next six months.

"Bristol Bay's past reliance on Excel for budgeting and consolidation is still quite common in business," said Dave Kasabian, chief marketing officer for Tagetik. "BBNC's experience demonstrates how diversified companies can gain significant advantages from centralized control and governance over enterprise-wide budgeting, consolidation, and financial reporting, while still giving business units independence to manage their day-to-day processes."
