Digitalization is currently taking place in all areas of the business environment. This thesis aims to provide an overview of digitalization in the field of controlling, specifically focusing on the use business intelligence (BI) dashboards. Embracing digitalization by implementing BI enables companies to transform the way in which data and information relevant for decision making is procured and managed. The utilization of a BI solution to conduct complex analyses is exemplified by the conceptualization and development of a BI dashboard for assessing the consolidation effect at Bosch Rexroth AG. The importance of designing an effective dashboard according to its purpose in a simple, clear and intuitive way as a front-end application of a BI solution is emphasized. Furthermore, five different potential roles for the controller that arise as digitization progresses are identified, all of which require an expansion of the controller's IT capabilities.
The current dashboard reporting of the Key Account Management of Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG indicates that management reporting in companies is still characterized by extensive manual effort, although various digitalization technologies offer possibilities to make reporting more efficient and effective. Therefore, this thesis deals with the digital transformation of controlling and primarily one of its central components - reporting. The main technologies available for reporting purposes will be identified by examining relevant literature. Regarding the manual dashboard reporting of the Key Account Management of Adolf Würth GmbH & Co.KG, requirements and recommendations for the conceptualization and implementation of a digital reporting will be described and summarized. It can be stated that the requirements differ from traditional reporting in many aspects, and it is recognizable that an interaction of different dashboard reporting elements is essential to establish a successful, digital reporting solution. As a result, it has been shown that an automated dashboard based on a BI-infrastructure has led to an enhancement in productivity and an extended information basis. Furthermore, it will be discussed that the challenges of new processes are driving controllers to extend their competence profiles.
