Excel4apps, a provider of best-in-class Excel-based inquiry and reporting software, has announced its managing director for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, Shirley Riddick, will chair the 2013 Mastering SAP Financials Conference, at the Sandton Sun in Johannesburg, from 10 to 12 June 2013. Also scheduled to make a presentation at the conference, Riddick oversees a region for the company that has grown dramatically in recent years, most notably a 74% increase in annual revenues from 2011 to 2012.
"I look forward to chairing this important conference, where several hundred MEA financial professionals using SAP convene for three days of discussion, information sessions and sharing of best practices for doing their jobs better," said Riddick. "At the event, Excel4apps will focus on the financial reporting challenges SAP users face and share information about the capabilities of GL Wand, our Excel-based, real-time reporting solution and how it enhances ERP system benefits among both SAP and Oracle users."
With headquarters in Australia and an expanding global footprint, Excel4apps opened a Johannesburg office in May headed by new personnel: Gavin Whyte, sales manager for Africa, and Gregg van der Westhuizen, solution specialist. "We view our high profile at the SAP Conference as a further welcome for us to MEA," said Riddick. "We are very excited about the work we are doing and the enthusiasm for our SAP-certified GL Wand solution throughout the region."
Riddick's presentation, "Real-Time Finance Reporting in MS Excel with GL Wand", was scheduled for 11:40am on Tuesday, 11 June. It focused on how GL Wand's Excel interface provides quick access to SAP FICO objects and values, which results in increasing productivity and reporting efficiency. GL Wand is an award-winning, Excel-based financial reporting tool that provides reports with drill down capabilities that are refreshable on demand, yet preserve formatting and Excel formulas. Without middleware or data warehouse requirements, Excel4apps can be installed in minutes with less reliance on IT support and greater power to the individual user.
