Why a Budgeting and Reporting System?
Most organisations of this size carry out all their budgeting and management information via Excel. Excel although perceived as a free solution, it is often resource-intensive and has many problems compared to budgeting software solutions. Some of the problems with Excel financial planning and analysis solutions are:
- Single User
- Multiple different models for budgeting, forecasting, monthly reporting
- No single version of the truth
- Scenario modelling, re-forecasts difficult
- Error prone, over 90% of excel models have material errors
- Slow to build and time consuming to edit
- Often difficult to hand over to new users
- Lacks top down bottom up data manipulation tools
How long are your planning and reporting cycles? How much effort of your staff does it take? What if reports and forecast templates are available on the web as a self-service option?
These are just some of the resource-saving benefits that a planning and reporting system brings to an organisation. Add to that a raft of planning functionality that is just not available in Excel models.
