Existing businesses and gaining efficiencies are the dominant focus
areas. Key Insights include the following:
• Heavy focus on growing existing businesses: About 90% say a top
priority is increasing revenue/share in current markets. All cite getting
more efficient, and 70% cite getting more focused.
• Strong focus on getting more efficient: Just under 75% say a top

and external risks.
• Little focus on raising prices: Just 9% say charging more is a top

Terminology:
Real Time Consolidation: An integrated application designed to support real-time access to
transactional and Master data within S/4HANA Finance with limited or no data replication of the
underlying data, aligned with the S/4HANA Finance concept of support for real-time business.
Traditional Consolidation: A separate dedicated application designed to support sourcing of
data from multiple systems via periodic replication of transactional data. In addition Master and
Meta data must also either be replicated or maintained directly in both systems. .
