Solution OverviewCFOs, controllers and audit and compliance professionals have not had a holistic, universal view of risk and compliance across their business and digitally enabled IT environments. Enterprise Insights provides a lens into an organization’s data to improve efficiency, lower costs and reduce and quantify risk through information management, purpose-built analytics and continuous monitoring capabilities. Through deploying Enterprise Insights, our clients have lowered the cost of compliance through analytics, automation and workflow.

Enterprise Insights is based in the "in memory" processing power of SAP HANA which supports the transformation of database management, data management and analytic intelligence. PwC's analytic accelerators leverage SAP HANA Calc Views and data is securely transferred to SAP HANA through SAP data extraction tools.
