Many companies continue to struggle with siloed systems, manual processes, and inconsistent data. This makes it difficult to adapt quickly, puts pressure on Finance teams, and limits the ability to make informed decisions in dynamic markets.

Analysts at the Business Application Research Center (BARC) have named Jedox as a market leader in the latest BARC Score. Jedox offers a comprehensive CPM platform for planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, dashboarding, analysis, and financial consolidation – designed specifically for business users.

Jedox enables organizations to unify strategic, financial, and operational planning in one connected environment. A central data foundation creates a consistent “single source of truth,” supporting faster planning cycles and more reliable decision-making.

The platform combines a familiar Excel-based user experience with a modern web interface. It also connects seamlessly with data from ERP, CRM, and BI systems. Planning and analysis work together in one platform—without data silos—providing end-to-end processes and greater visibility.

Thanks to strong technology partnerships with Microsoft (Azure, Office, Power BI, etc.), Salesforce/Tableau, and Qlik – and the support of global investors – Jedox continues to drive innovation. A key focus in this regard is on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. These capabilities enable more accurate forecasts, automated analysis, and faster scenario evaluation. As a result, Jedox helps reduce manual effort, improves forecast quality, and allows Finance teams to focus on higher-value work.

The BARC Score evaluation is based on comprehensive criteria, including portfolio capabilities, ease of use, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Being named a Market Leader highlights Jedox’s strength in a highly competitive market for Integrated Planning & Analytics.

“To build resilience, organizations must carry out planning and forecasting efficiently, in a more integrated way, in shorter cycles, and with fast updates to enable well-founded decisions. This cannot be achieved without sound software support.”
