Consolidate budgets and plans from across the organisation and drive collaborative enterprise planning to ensure alignment between operational plans and financial goals.
Collaborative Enterprise Planning
What is collaborative enterprise planning?
Collaborative enterprise planning is the process of linking and aligning all plans across your organisation. It breaks down silos and brings your teams together – finance, HR, sales, marketing, IT, and supply chain – to collaborate on plans and drive better business outcomes.
Why collaborative enterprise planning?
To be effective, planning can’t be performed in silos. It needs to be a collaborative process that spans the organisation and lets everyone see and understand the impact of their plans on other areas of the business.
With collaborative enterprise planning, all teams can work with a single version of the truth, link planning models, and take advantage of powerful embedded analytics. Finance can get a holistic view of plans – and improve forecasts, budgeting accuracy, and the bottom line.
