The GFRS platform is a consolidation and reporting environment in which worldwide financial data is gathered, normalised and consolidated to generate Financial reporting. The GFRS application is highly configurable and consists of the following stages; ODS (1:1 copy of source system), Business Model (normalised datamodel per product), Reporting Model (contains derived data by using determinations), Head Office Model (consolidated model), Datamarts (for reporting purposes)
