Budget Planning and Forecasting

Budgeting and forecasting activities run concurrently in most organizations. These iterative processes suffer from delays due to data integrity, data collection and data distribution issues. By the time the data is made available to analysts for variance analysis and recommended tweaks to budget targets, companies may be a month behind taking corrective action.

Further, every department may have unique products and performance measures. Geographical distribution, differences in time zones and globalization exacerbate the challenge. Spreadsheet-like tools are no longer adequate to support the demands of planning and budgeting functions in an organization. Specialized tools are available to deal with existing challenges. These tools allow collaborative forecasting, "what-if" scenario generation and evaluation of various forecasts before arriving at a "consensus forecast".
