Case Study: WPP achieves faster, better global performance insight with Metapraxis Empower

WPP deliver global performance insight and reporting in one application, enabling quicker and better decision making that drives business value

Metapraxis worked with WPP, the global communications and advertising group, which needed a way to analyze financial and operational data across 30 operating companies and more than 20,000 reporting units. To support faster decision-making across geography, sector, and client, WPP required a more consistent, multi-dimensional reporting and insight capability than its existing fragmented processes could provide.

Metapraxis developed a tailored Performance Insight and Reporting application in Metapraxis Empower, integrating data hourly from WPP’s central finance system and enabling guided analysis, flexible reporting, variance commentary, and automated board-pack production. The solution improved decision-making, supported better working capital, cost, and margin management, increased finance efficiency to upper-quartile levels, and gave Group Finance and operating companies a single consistent view of performance.
