BOARD enables organisations to combine planning processes with budgeting, forecasting, reporting and scorecarding –
effectively aligning performances with corporate strategic vision.
Unlike spreadsheets, the management of BOARD’s
multi-dimensional planning makes it possible to introduce workflow, security, audit trail and versioning
mechanisms. This enhances the
controllability and efficiency of the entire process
– making it fully -reliable in terms of results, and significantly less onerous in terms of time and resources.
Advanced functions of What-if analysis and Goal Seeking are
combined with the possibility of creating
and managing scenarios, allowing
multi-dimensional simulations in which the impact of future events is
automatically spread to every level of data aggregation, from the broadest
outline (e.g. Sales by Division) to the lowest level of detail (Item Code).
