MIGRATION

How finance moved to a new system and kept its trust in the numbers

Large utility infrastructure contractor, United States.

Migrate Systems

Finance planning and reporting modernized

5 reports

Rebuilt, tested and signed off by finance
 

1

Agreed way to count profit, revenue and hours

THE CHALLENGE

  • Years of calculations and rules lived inside the reports themselves

  • Each report worked out profit, revenue and hours in its own way

  • Some data had no clear home in the new system. This included job completion, invoice aging, and revenue timing

  • No single guide showed where old data would land in the new system

WHAT WE DID

  • Mapped each key piece of old data to its new home and listed data that didn’t match

  • Agreed one way to count each key figure. Each data set got one agreed source

  • Rebuilt the main finance reports one by one in Power BI, testing with finance along the way

  • Coordinated finance, both IT teams, the data team and outside consultants as the central point

THE RESULT

  • Reports rebuilt, tested and signed off, with no loss of business logic

  • Mapping and migration documentation used by every team involved

  • One trusted, standardized way to calculate key financial measures

  • Gaps identified early and resolved before they could disrupt the business
