Reinvent your Business Analytics: Key Questions to Address when Replacing your Legacy Planning

Organizations that simplify and optimize planning, forecasting and reporting free up valuable resources, so they can focus on growth. However, many organizations feel stuck with slow platforms that are not user-friendly, expensive to maintain, and difficult to upgrade.

This whitepaper reviews key issues faced by business users and developers of legacy calculation engines and planning systems, and compares how the modern Jedox platform can address these challenges to provide greater user satisfaction, less IT burden, and a rapid Return on Investment.
