4 Things to Look for in a Financial Planning Solution

As companies continue to invest in so many areas of the business, why is it that budgeting and planning processes remain manual and stale?

Companies are confronted with a number of choices when it comes to investing in the right reporting tool. Do I choose a solution that’s real-time and ERP integrated, or staged? What types of input do I care about seeing? Who do I involve in the process? Does this solution have the flexibility for newer methodologies like driver-based modeling, continuous planning, and integrated business planning? These are the right questions to be asking when choosing the best reporting solution to fit your needs, but do you really know what to look for? Make sure you clearly define all of your needs and the benefits of each tool to ensure that you choose the reporting solution that addresses them most efficiently.
