Looking for an alternative to CCH Tagetik?
CCH Tagetik is a Corporate Performance Management solution designed primarily for financial consolidation, regulatory reporting, and compliance-driven processes. While it is well established in the Office of Finance, its architecture is optimized for control and reporting rather than flexible, dynamic planning and analytics.
Board delivers a unified platform that combines enterprise-grade financial consolidation with advanced planning, analytics, and decision support in a single environment. This enables finance teams not only to meet reporting and compliance requirements, but also to plan more dynamically, analyze performance in real time, and drive faster, more informed decisions.
Compare Board and CCH Tagetik in this guide.
Board combines planning, forecasting, consolidation, and reporting in one unified platform. Unlike Tagetik, which relies on a dual-layer architecture with separate financial and extended planning models, Board operates on a single, unified data model. This eliminates the need for manual synchronization between layers and reduces reliance on external tools for advanced analytics, providing a consistent, real-time view across all processes.
Board’s multi-cube, sparse-native architecture supports unlimited dimensions and real-time modeling without coding. Tagetik’s financial engine is constrained, and advanced use cases rely on its AIH layer – requiring SQL and manual integration between models, increasing complexity and limiting agility.
Board empowers business users to build, adapt, and manage planning models without technical expertise. In Tagetik, organizations must choose between rigid pre-built solutions or heavily customized implementations requiring ongoing IT or consultant support, slowing change and increasing cost.
Tagetik was designed as a finance and controlling solution, with a strong focus on governance, auditability, and reporting consistency. While this makes it effective for structured financial processes, it is less suited for dynamic planning, real-time analysis, and cross-functional decision-making.
Board delivers the same enterprise-grade financial control and consolidation capabilities, while extending the value of the Office of Finance with advanced planning, analytics, and decision support to other planning domains in a single platform.
Board enhances finance with planning and insight, and extends planning to other solutions like Merchandising and Supply Chain planning. Tagetik remains focused on control and reporting.
