THREE MAIN PROJECTS
• Supplier Management – “One Supplier” • Vendor, Commodity Code, Supply Chain Org Structure (not finance!)
• Consolidated HFM • Automate changes to HFM hierarchies (node changes, new entities, etc.)
• Tax Technology • Integration between managerial, tax, legal entities (Not supply chain!)

LEGAL ENTITY MANAGEMENT – WHY?
14
" Issue Legal vs. Mgt vs. Tax entities Redundant data requests Significant manual effort to gather and reconcile data
" Objective Single source of the truth Eliminate redundant data requests Focus organization on higher value tasks Enable legal entity financial reporting
![Page 15: United Technologies, Hands On Reference Data Management For Corporate Finance And Beyond](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020306/545d1a17b1af9f460a8b4964/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CONSOLIDATED LEGAL ENTITY REPORTING CHALLENGES
Mappings can be 1:1, 1:n or n:1
HFM has alternate hierarchies (roll-ups) and mappings e.g. Forecasting, Planning, Management performance calculations
15
GEMS
• 1,400 Legal Entities
HFM
• 7,000 Reporting Entities
CORPTAX
• 1,350 Int’l Tax Entities
• 550 Domestic Tax Entities

adoption of workflows
• Coexist with tools commonly used in your user community. MDM is gold standard, but we support imports/exports from/to Excel
• Don’t over engineer/over-plan use agile methods • Getting people to use tool as early as possible provides feedback into the
development process and builds support
• Easy-to-learn technology gets you productive more quickly
• Don’t boil the ocean • Focus on projects that will deliverer value quickly
• Adopt technology that can be easily adjusted/customized to support changing business needs
