European Legislation

The countdown for the most important change is the countdown for the most important change since the introduction of the euro in German payments runs, but only a few companies, authorities and associations have taken so far it. Most lag behind significantly scheduled specifications to the single euro payments area (SEPA) in the implementation of the binding and on the 1st February 2014. This shows the current survey SEPA implementation in Germany, conducted by ibi research now for the second time in six months mountain, the Bank-Verlag and InterCard together with van den. The software update received too late, technical problems, disease-related failures by responsible employees, obtained by the daily business or simply underestimated the scope there are many reasons why companies are not yet ready for SEPA a few months before the final conversion. But SEPA stands directly outside the door and the time running out of many companies, organizations and associations, because the European Legislation that already as of February 1, 2014 the existing national transfer and direct debit schemes be abolished. At that time, the SEPA credit transfer and the SEPA direct debit must be binding used. Utilizing extensive organizational and technical adjustments however is required for the part: especially for large enterprises, the successful launch of SEPA represents a high cost.

You expect an effort by average 1,654 person-days in contrast to small companies with an average 84 and medium-sized enterprises with 359 person-days. This adaptation of the internal systems and obtaining written direct debit mandates, according to the study, are among the biggest challenges. Despite the warnings, most of the steps to migration will be only in the fourth quarter. This means that first test transactions, as well as the main switch and the completion of remaining works are therefore often late. Direct debit inputs but fail due to a delayed transition, may 27 Percent of respondents already within five days from the lead to liquidity problems.

That’s why you should use strongly the remaining three months, until February 1, 2014 successfully to cope with the changeover. Top experts at the ibi seminar show how you can do it, on October 22 in Berlin compact and practical shape on the basis of live demonstrations. The joint event by van den Berg, EFiS and ibi research at the University of Regensburg offers sufficient opportunity for questions.

Scenario Analysis For A Data-terms Still Uncertain Future

The bandwidth is determined based on best case and worst case scenarios it comes to depict images of a possible, in terms of data often still uncertain future. She was named for scenario techniques reminiscent of the scene descriptions in movie scripts: a scenario is the description of a possible future situation. Who can generate internal and external business information faster and use them for strategic and operational decisions and processes in this environment, can draw on the most secure competitive advantages from this. From the point of view of the company these risks represent even more complex, since they more or less at the same time effectively, affect mutually and in its effect partly also mutually reinforcing / may affect.

Target the scenario technique is transferred to economic problems also represent images of a possible future. Starting from the present Wahrscheinlichkeitsgrade be determined in an analysis of the situation, after which both internal and external factors will change within the next time. It is shown a development history leading to a particular future situation: under the assumption that the influences of today existing facts (used, technology, customer behavior) with a progressive future will decrease more and more. While in the structures of the present, disruptive events are mostly irrelevant, at the same time, the uncertainty of information and hence the uncertainty with regard to the meeting of predictions is increasing with increasing extension of this future / time Hopper: very wide future away almost everything becomes possible. See for basic action potentials such as Jorg Becker: intellectual and business planning, ISBN 978-3-8370-7564-9.

The real development is between the edge points of the possibility space, i.e. between optimistic and pessimistic extreme scenarios are, set. Second, a likely scenario as an extension of the trend of today’s point of view could therefore are updated. To round off, then at least a scenario should be listed with possible fault events for a new image of the future. More broadly, the company deals with these possible scenarios of the information, the expected benefits for the forming of opinion with regard to future potential is greater.
