October Green Light's exceeding $1.0M
•Master Data Management (MDM) $3.4M
–Metadata for every program played out on a Sony Pictures Television (SPT) Networks channel must be manually entered intoeach scheduling and playout facility operated by SPT. This information must be entered multiple times across multipleregions and multiple channels. Financial reconciliation is manually intensive due to the constant reconciliation betweencorporate titles and Networks titles based solely on the name of the program which is often not consistent with what istracked in corporate systems
•Pegasus to SAP $3.5M
–financial and procurement functions in HEG are duplicative within the broader SPE organization. A highly customized versionof JDE (“Pegasus”) is used to support these functions in addition to inventory movements. Pegasus accounts for transactionlevel detail and feeds summary level data into SPE’s enterprise SAP system. Pegasus is older technology and needs to bereplaced. SAP is the proper home for the Financials.
•TrinTech $2.5M
–Rollout of Trintech to SPE Finance organizations across the globe in three phases:
1. Migrate on-premise solution to hosted solution
2. Rollout to Europe & Domestic - including Poland GBS
