Integrated Business Planning
Unify Planning Across the Organization
Breaking Down the Silos
Organizations face growing volumes of data, most of which is stored in multiple operational systems and disconnected departmental silos. Various planning functions across the organization not only utilize disparate systems. They also plan and report their data using different standards, periods, levels of detail, assumptions, and intervals.
From Spreadsheets to Integrated Business Planning
Building strong links between strategic and operational planning – or operational and financial planning – is no simple task. Most CFOs have gone beyond spreadsheets with Business Intelligence (BI) and data discovery to analyze historic data. Yet the humble spreadsheet remains the enterprise standard for planning. A professional planning solution that integrates financial and operational plans produces more accurate results. This enhances the ability of the CFO as well as the executive team to align operational and strategic objectives. (Read the whitepaper on “Integrated Planning” to learn more about aligning strategic and operational planning.)
