Customer Quote Quote from Dean Harrelson (Senior Vice President for SunTrust, CFS)   Wow! Cutting a 12 hour cycle to 2 is amazing! This type of performance will be the lynchpin for: Integrating our single Indirect Cost Allocation engine into the very tight timeframes required to run 48 months in the Forecast cycle Moving from a single 9 day Management close cycle that runs once, with Cost a month in arrears, to a multiple complete cycle with an improved publish date and Cost running current month. These items will be key in driving our new culture of enabling buyer and seller conversations and systemically driving better efficiency ratios across the bank. “ Mark ”
