Archon/CS: CONSOLIDATION SOFTWARE
Consolidating the financial data of disparate operating units is a continual challenge because of the mergers and acquisitions, globalization, and corporate restructurings that fragment IT environments and often span multiple ERP databases with non-standardized charts of accounts.

Archon/CS, from GL Associates, enables companies to consolidate their financial data across the enterprise effortlessly. It’s a web based system that eliminates expensive software purchases or development and the mazes of linked spreadsheets typically needed (which consume significant time and attention to maintain) to consolidate financial data across the enterprise.

When you combine Archon/CS with GL Associates’ nearly three decades experience in converting and consolidating charts of accounts and ERP data for companies of all sizes and industries your consolidation process will be automated, and your staff will spend their time analyzing the numbers rather than crunching them.

Integrated with GL Associates’ proven COA Conversion methodology
Archon-CS integrates with GL Associates’ Archon-ERP conversion software to smoothly convert and consolidate separate charts of accounts into a single chart.  

Flexible Data Selection and Management 
Archon CS offers several data selection and manipulation options for every consolidation scenario.  Control the volume and type of merged data while simultaneously updating desired data on the fly.  Replace entire files or append new records and update changed records to existing files.

Repeatable Run Options with Tracking of all consolidated data
Archon-CS creates scheduled job run packages, in addition to on-demand job execution, while maintaining comprehensive reports of all consolidated data. View detailed reports of the consolidated record using auto-generated Excel reports.
