We live in the age of connectivity. Everyone and everything is constantly connected via internet, on computers and cell phones. Yet, in most organizations, business unit planning operates in silos. This fragmented approach is often the result of spreadsheets-driven planning processes, which impede collaboration. If your organization still uses spreadsheets for planning, you’re spending too many hours collecting, validating, aggregating data, and reconciling updates from multiple versions. But there is an easier way!
Join us for free webinar to hear a discussion with Robert Kugel, Senior Vice President and Research Director at Ventana Research and Michael McGeein, Senior Offering Manager, IBM on how leading finance organizations are improving the value of planning and budgeting by using technology to connect lines of business and finance to drive more accurate plans and forecasts and improve business and financial performance.
