Most growing organizations have outgrown their Excel-based budgeting. What was once cost effective and convenient has become unsophisticated and unreliable. Financial and accounting professionals spend more time entering and validating data then analyzing it. They’re unable to access other data sources, like ERP systems, and reporting is limited at best. It’s time to replace spreadsheets with the best budgeting software for your business—a solution that enables growth, not restricts it.
In the webinar, Active Planning: Budget, Plan, and Analyze without Compromise, the professionals at Arxis and Adaptive Insights discuss how the right software can enable a planning process that’s collaborative, comprehensive, and continuous. That’s called “active planning.”
Specifically, active planning delivers three benefits:
- Better collaboration: Active planning encourages broader participation across the organization, by leveraging technology that makes it easier to establish a single source of shared data and customized dashboards that give users ready access to information. Now, individual users are accountable for their part in the budgeting process, which drives ownership.
- Comprehensive capabilities: A single, comprehensive process drives optimization widely across the diverse parts of the business, and the organization. You can reap huge benefits from real bottom-up planning and develop a robust picture of the business.
- Continuous planning: Plans are produced rapidly and can be quickly iterated so ongoing, real-time planning and rolling forecasts become the norm. Financial planning and analysis professionals can provide insights to help the business respond rapidly to changing market conditions or competitor activity.
