Enterprise Performance Management (Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting)

Despite its importance, planning and budgeting is still a lengthy and labor-intensive process in many organizations.  Many depend on multiple linked spreadsheets that are difficult to maintain and are not well integrated with ERP systems.  Common problems include lack of flexibility for reorganizations and restatements, inability to create sophisticated models and “what-if” scenarios, lack of confidence in the numbers, difficulties in reconciling bottom-up budgets with top-down strategic targets, and no provision for involving line managers in the planning process.

Axis Group works with finance and IT professionals to understand the organization’s unique functional and technical requirements, then designs, configures and deploys a complete solution.  We support the implementation of leading vendor solutions, such as BusinessObjects™ Planning XI (formerly SRC Planning).  Download brochure on Axis services.
