This whitepaper is for financial managers needing a better self-service tool for budgeting, planning and forecasting and those needing a spark to change current practices that are holding your company back. Maybe it’s time to stop relying on IT to build forecasting reports for you and waiting weeks or even months for them, or it is time to augment or replace antiquated business intelligence tools that don’t deliver the ‘what-if’ and planning scenarios you need.
