**Reviewed by:** Lalitya Nindya N. | Project Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Cognitus?**

It has an add-on for IFRS 16, that needs to be installed in SAP system. Once installed (which is implemented in a very short time), it can be configured and further enhanced to meet specific business requirements. Hamilton also provides detailed contract information, all contract adjustments and modification. Hamilton engine can also do automatic posting (accounting document) to main financial system in SAP ECC or S/4HANAsystem. Moreover, Hamilton has a unique implementation approach to take between 3 to 4 months. It is a complete IFRS 16 solutions, it supports lessee accounting and lessor accounting, intercompany lease, sublease, sale and leaseback, bargain purchase option, consumer price index and many other complex IFRS 16 requirements. My clients very satisfied and greatly helped by Hamilton. Happy clients are the best advertising money can't buy, but Hamilton can.

**What do you dislike about Cognitus?**

This application should have been invented earlier than before so that more people will find it easy and helpful when using Hamilton for supporting their work.

**Recommendations to others considering Cognitus:**

Highly recommended. It is a valid solution for multinational companies, as it manages pretty well all data updates

**What problems is Cognitus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Implement Hamilton engine to meet IFRS 16 – lease accounting requirements. This is Hamilton engine’s signature solution to solve almost all IFRS requirements and adaptable to future needs.

Easy to implement, Easy to user, Easy to navigate, it can go-live as soon as business data is ready, and you'll love that Hamilton is really easy to use.

**What do you like best about Cognitus?**

simple   reporting process with power full information and completed dashboard.

still using excel files as an intermediary for the data to be processed, hope that in the future there will be a tool that can integrate with the related SAP module, so that it can minimize corrections

**What problems is Cognitus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

updating and creating integration program tools from the associated module process, and placing it in a supporting table so that it is then processed by the Hamilton system to be used as a data source for IFRS16 reports, so that the process can be faster and easier and more accurate.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nizar R. | Business Analyst Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2021

**What do you like best about Cognitus?**

is more than just a calculating tool this is a great calculating machine especially to help calculate PSAK 73 / IFRS 16 which is quite complicated so that we can leave our excel calculations, with fast implementation and consultant mastery of PSAK 73 / IFRS 16 problems that are very helpful in terms of configuration in the system and the adoption of user switching from manual to the system.

The added value of this Hamilton engine is the builtin function in our SAP ECC 6 ERP so we don't need to maintain systems outside of SAP

**What do you dislike about Cognitus?**

needs to be considered in the future needs to be made for an out of the box integration mechanism with the SAP MM contract management system because PSAK 73 / IFRS 16, the key is in dynamics contract so that the system can be streamlined

**What problems is Cognitus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

solving the complicated calculation that we used in the excel spreadsheet change to Hamilton engine in SAP

so we can track easily the contract ID and value of lease liability on one single system

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dena M. | Junior SAP FICO Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Cognitus?**

The report in Hamilton already covers the reporting needs of IFRS16 in Indonesia, it is very easy to use by users in reporting, the calculations are very reliable, the configuration of Hamilton is quite easy for consultants.

**What do you dislike about Cognitus?**

Even though the reports are very easy to use, there are many processes to produce these reports where the user is sometimes confused. not flexible in add new custom data in the table. it is difficult to use for some companies whose accounting is still in the transition from cash based to accrual based.

**What problems is Cognitus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Some clients admit their expenses only when issuing this cash, so we with Hamilton Consulting have made an integration program with this expense

  ### 8. Improvements were needed and were fulfilled sufficiently

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Cognitus?**

Given that MFRS 16 - Leases is a new standard which requires fine-tuning, there are lacking areas that required improvement. The team has acceded to our requests on a timely basis, showing in-depth knowledge on our requirements and dedication. As a result, the engine has been improvised to be able to keep up with the transactions within our company.

**What do you dislike about Cognitus?**

Data dump, when reports generated included a substantial (if not all) lease contracts. While this problem persists, the team and my main pivotal person-in-charge were accommodating in assisting us in work-around solutions, thereby still achieving our project objectives.

**Recommendations to others considering Cognitus:**

To be clear on what the company requires the engine to do and to agree the capacity limitation upfront.

I wish to highlight that the format of this review is misleading and does not reflect the true objective of the review, and can be written more clearly. 

I wish to emphasize that the team is very supportive of my requests at all times and are always looking to further improve the system to cater to my needs.

**What problems is Cognitus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Analysis of all contracts on a line-by-line basis to identify problem areas that can be modified further to improve accuracy. The team has shown great support and timeliness in allowing us to meet year-end reporting requirements.
