Business Forecasting Software for Budgeting and Planning
InfoCat have a long history of supporting Cognos TM1 and IBM Planning Analytics budgeting and forecasting software. More recently, we have diversified to include Vena Solutions software within our portfolio of budgeting and forecasting tools. The addition of Vena Solutions enables us to provide faster implementations to companies who already have a well-developed Excel-based budgeting system, and who need to convert their solution to a more easily managed and automated system capable of full Corporate Performance Management capabilities.
How Modern Budgeting & Planning Software Improves Your Finance Teams Processes
You either rely solely on spreadsheets for your budgeting processes, or have identified the need for a more integrated Corporate Performance Management system. There are pro's and con's with either approach and you need to make the right choice for your environment. Both options should provide you with easy control, collaboration, and a single version of the truth. The links below indicate some of the key areas for consideration.
Centralised Data Mapping
Without a centralised data mapping capability, version control, plus amendments, resubmissions, your approval process and more, become cumbersome and expensive overheads.
Integrates All Business Systems
Numbers often need context. Any system should provide an easy means to drill-to-detail and provide the full story behind the headlines. Ensure that your FP&A tool can easily integrate all business data and systems.
Finance Automation
Automation is coming to the office and it's arriving fast. Financial processes that were once regarded as tedious monthly requirements can be easily automated, leaving you more time to run your business effectively.
Financial Transformation
Making the finance function digital is a key imperative for many companies. Any new system must be capable of delivering a digital solution for a finance-led culture.
