Self-service app provides real-time access to AWS services for ASX reporting

As an ASX-listed company, timely and accurate financial reporting was non-negotiable. But with data generated and processed across multiple financial systems throughout the group, accessing and reconciling that data relied on slow, manual processes that were prone to error, posing a real risk to data integrity.

As part of a broader automation program, the company implemented AWS services to streamline transactions within and between these systems. While this was a significant step forward, business users still had to rely on IT support to execute and monitor AWS processes - creating bottlenecks that slowed the financial reporting cycle and undermined the gains of automation.

Working with PhoenixDX, the company built a purpose-built application that gives finance users direct, real-time control over AWS services without the need for IT involvement.

Through intuitive dashboards, users can initiate, monitor, and report on AWS processes as they happen, viewing the progress of tasks, identifying errors, and resolving issues independently. The application puts the power firmly in the hands of the finance team, removing the bottleneck that had been slowing the reporting cycle.

Beyond operational efficiency, the application also improves data quality by providing a single, reliable view of financial information drawn from across the group's systems. The result is a faster, more accurate, and more auditable compliance reporting process - giving the business greater confidence in the data it reports to the ASX.
