Enhance your Activity-Based Costing process by incorporating the profitability impacts of external actions

Activity-Based Costing (ABC) helps you plan and control the financial impact of internal processes, but cannot account for business costs controlled or driven solely by customer, supplier and other external activities. Teradata Value Analyzer defines profitability across the entire spectrum of a business's profit and loss statement, providing a technological foundation for ABC as well as the ability to capture the impact of independent, external behavior. Teradata Value Analyzer provides you with a holistic, encompassing and consistent view of customer, product, channel or organizational profitability.

With globalization increasing the amount and intensity of competitive forces they face, companies have a greater need to understand the exact activities — internal and external — that impact their bottom line.

Increasing numbers of companies are transcending traditional, aggregated profitability measures in order to gain a bottom-up understanding of customer, product and organizational profitability.
