For Finance departments to best navigate through the twists and turns of today’s fast moving marketplace, a haphazard, once-a-year budgeting process just doesn’t cut it. To survive and thrive in this environment, this process needs to change to be more agile, align around a consistent set of resources, and attain a trusted level of accuracy. One reliable way to transform your budgeting process is to integrate the modeling that budget contributors typically do on spreadsheets to deliver driver-based planning and budgeting. With benefits such as being able to rapidly reforecast with minimal effort, having operational capacity always aligned, and better decision making that comes from having a deeper insight into variances, it has obvious appeal. So why is it not more widely used?
