Course Description

When it comes to replacing software, it’s easy to procrastinate, saying “now’s not the right time.” It’s easy to carry on with a solution that’s inefficient, not scalable, or not functional, because we’re used to the usability issues.

But at what point does that approach start hurting our processes?  If you’ve been wondering about when it makes sense to upgrade the solution that supports your most mission-critical Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) processes, you might find some answers in this webinar. 

 
Learning Objectives:


  • How to know when it’s time to switch

  • The hallmarks of a scalable FP&A solution

  • The benefits of working within enterprise-grade Excel

  • Why 83% of companies that use traditional Financial Planning & Analysis solutions actually end up reverting back to Excel over time

"Not currently in market to buy, but I would like to see/play with a demo. Interesting to me that you have both SEC ad DFAS reporting capabilities...Has your software passed a DFAS audit? Last time I worked a DFENSE contract they'd wasted over 500K on a DELTEK system conversion that wasn't set up properly...and consultants weren't helpful...If only they'd hired me BEFORE they did the system conversion."

"Excellent summary of the topic outlining the process, pros, cons and provided a truthful solution, one that I had never heard of before but one that related exactly the truth as I see it. It was like reading the Emperor has no clothes....the solution seems so obvious but few seem to see it as it is so obvious. Now for someone to tackle the myth that fewer GL accounts are better...."

"Good survey of pain points and considerations in adopting an FP&A solution to supplement Excel. Wish all stakeholders were aware of these points and would consider them in their FP&A solution decisions."
