The Governance Challenge

Managing multiple entities without central control is chaotic

Inconsistent Processes

Each subsidiary does things differently. No standardization makes consolidation and comparison impossible.

Security Gaps

Each entity manages their own users. Corporate has no visibility into who has access to what.

Policy Violations

Corporate policies exist on paper but aren't enforced. Subsidiaries operate however they want.

Data Inconsistency

Different chart of accounts, different vendors, different products. Master data is a mess across entities.
