What you can do
Get rid of the need for creating, sending, and consolidating manual spreadsheets. IBM Planning Analytics automates budget consolidation and real-time updates. Run multiple "what-if" scenarios and assess their impact immediately. Easily manage and compare different versions of a plan, providing flexibility for decision-making, all without requiring IT intervention, in Excel or on the web.
Empower business users to create AI-driven forecasts without the need for a data scientist. Multi-variate forecasting incorporates external factors like inflation, interest rates, and weather. This improves forecast accuracy, supports more frequent updates, and eliminates personal bias for better decision-making with less effort.
Create custom reports, scorecards, and metrics in real-time. All financial data is consolidated in a secure platform, ensuring accurate tracking and instant updates. The same data is available in both web and Excel views for flexibility without compromising on consistency. Dashboards provide clear insights for informed decision-making across teams.
