How to choose

  • Who builds and maintains the models: finance alone, or finance with sales, HR and operations?
  • Do you want to keep working in Excel, or move the models into a planning system?
  • Which sources need to feed the plan, such as the ERP, CRM, payroll and the data warehouse, and does it connect to them?
  • How quickly can you add a scenario or a new driver without help from the vendor or a consultant?
