Capability Authorization
SVP BA Capability Authorization
Increasingly, our customers are asking IBM to demonstrate leadership and innovation in Analytics. As a
result, they're asking for solutions rather than technology or products.
The SVP BA Capability Authorization is an IBM program that seeks Business Partners who have invested in
Business Analytics knowledge and skill and who have applied that knowledge, their implementation
experience and methodologies, and vertical or line of business specific content (the intellectual property) to
develop and sell a repeatable solution that addresses a specific business problem.
SVP BA Capability Authorized solutions are based on best practices and proven technologies
designed to improve Analytics at leading organizations in their industry.
The Capability Authorized Partner business model is not to develop proprietary software, rather it is to sell a
repeatable, demonstrable solution built on BA Software with pre-built assets that are LOB or industry
specific but can be customized / configured to address a customer’s specific business needs.
Examples of pre-built assets are; Scorecard, dashboards, BI reports, OLAP cubes, Framework Manager
models Physical data models (conformance dimensions, dimensions and facts), ETL models, etc.

Solution Description
The Applied Analytix Modular Planning System (AAMPS) recognizes that even though planning is a common
task, one size does not fit all. Different organizations are focused on different areas, depending on their
industry, regional reach, and stage in lifecycle. Our modular approach allows you to choose the components
you need most to get started; you can always add others later. By covering the "basics" of planning and
reporting in a series of 'best practices' building blocks, your organization will be able to spend time on
analyzing trends, performing what-if analysis, and digging deeper to discover the causes of positive and
negative variances in your buiness. The AAMPS utilizes IBM Cognos® Express Xcelerator/TM1 as the central
depository for data from your ERP system, as well as input data such as forecast data and commentary.
Reports will still be built in Excel, utilizing your team's existing Excel skills. The following modules make up
the AAMPS: General Ledger, General Ledger Detail, Sales Forecast, Sales Analysis, Operating Expense,
Headcount, Capital Expenditures, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow, Standard Reports, and our 'best practices'
Building Blox. Our Modular Planning System synthesizes our years of experience in building planning and
reporting systems for hundreds of clients. You get the benefit of our broad experience--no need to reinvent
the wheel. The end result is a world-class Planning and Reporting system at an affordable cost and fast ROI.

Gross Margin Analysis by InfoCube Consulting Pty Ltd
Industry:

Geography:
Target Customers:
Cross Industry
Performance Management
Cognos TM-1, Cognos Express
Australia
Cross Industry
Solution Description
Those responsible for margin management need visibility into the various components that make up gross
margin (GM). Most are able to tell which products or vendors are contributing to GM, but very few are able
to understand how GM has changed for a product or vendor over time, nor are they able to compare what
drives GM across multiple products or vendors.
Lacking this visibility limits forecasting capability and limits effective negotiations when meeting with
vendors. The ability to understand which components are impacting GM in a positive and negative way can
be crucial to the success of a business.
In one client, prior to implementation, to produce a report for one product group and vendor, an accountant
would spend two weeks pulling the data and tracing excel formulas to produce a single analysis. Some
organizations have thousands of product categories and thousands of vendors making production of such
reports on all categories impossible.
The Solution provides an environment that allows for analysis of the key drivers of margin for every
combination of product and vendor at every level of the product hierarchy. This enables organizations to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Understand the impact of key drivers on the change in gross margin over time
Provide buyers with up to date information on vendors for negotiations
Identify key profit indicators to assist with decisions making
Significantly reduce cost of producing reports
