Your Questions

Here are some of the questions that came up during our live session. Thank you for being such a proactive audience. Have more questions? Drop us a note at support@zebrabi.com!
Do you have any practical tips on how to establish IBCS rules in a company?

It's difficult to lead large changes in large organizations. You need 3 things: firstly, it's management attention from the C-level, such things are difficult to do from the bottom up. Next is the concept, you take these standards and transfer them to an internal manual, convince the people, show them examples. The third thing is the software that was non-existent up to a few years ago but that we now have - Zebra BI.

Are there any particular industries that have the highest IBCS adoption rate?

In terms of regions, it started in Germany so i's the German-speaking countries, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The US is becoming a leader when we talk about the adoption of Zebra BI after Germany and Switzerland. In terms of industries, the manufacturing. You can apply this to any type of industry and business areas, not only financial reports but also sales dashboards, operational reporting, etc.
