    Integrated Business Planning (IBP)

    Technology disruption is not new. However, the speed of disruption is faster and continues to accelerate. More and more organizations are recognizing challenges with respect to technology.

    We observe that many finance leaders believe that

    1. Planning takes too long to turnaround, so impacts are approximated in offline spreadsheet
    2. Traditional planning tools do not the business and regulatory asks (relating to risk, capital, treasury)
    3. Utilizing an EPM tool is costly as duplicate effort is required to produce and reconcile outputs
    4. Management does not have the right tools and outputs to make better decisions
