IBM Planning Analytics TM1

Unleash Power of Excel

For years financial organizations have been budgeting, forecasting and reporting using Excel.  Excel is a powerful tool, but at some point it becomes inefficient and disruptive when utilizing for connected planning.  Are you experiencing broken formulas, consolidations that hang, multiple versions of the truth, end-user frustration and decisions driven by incorrect data?

The key to building good extended financial planning and analysis (xP&A) processes starts with defining the scope, goals and selecting the right software solution and solution provider to improve your business processes and information.  In order to select the right solution, the solution should be owned by the office of finance and supported by IT.  Our solution utilizes driver-based methodologies to dynamically control and update plans seamlessly.  We use best practices as it relates to performance management that are flexible, adapt to fit your specific needs and create the perfect solution for your business needs.

See how we unlock the value of financial data using IBM Planning Analytics with our pre-built accelerator ProfitCy® – Financial Performance Management (FPM).
