As accountants ourselves, we have lived through the nightmare of trying to use spreadsheets to manage the financial performance of a business and plan the future, so you can be confident in our ability to understand the challenges that you are facing - we've been there, done that. InfoCat's IBM Planning Analytics TM1 team is one of the most knowledgeable in Europe, with over 80 man years' experience of implementing TM1.

Miki Travel is an international group, with four divisions covering Japan, Asia, Europe and their e-commerce channel. To increase their cost-efficiency, their parent company wanted them to be able to analyse costs at the division and function level. Achieving this goal required Miki Travel to allocate operating costs for approximately 40 departments, some of which support multiple divisions.

We run regular webinars to introduce the latest Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting developments which our experienced team use to improve the often cumbersome and time-consuming processes generally required to manage many current spreadsheet-based FP&A systems. Find out why spreadsheets alone cannot meet the demands of today's business environment and see how you can easily migrate to a fully integrated, powerful and flexible planning solution.

The need to look further than static quarterly or annual planning cycles and to get greater business insights from them is driving change in what once could have been considered a tick box exercise.

Spreadsheets are usually the primary tool that finance departments turn to for their budgeting and forecasting requirements, but these very quickly become extremely difficult to manage due to issues such as version control, data accuracy, and collaboration for efficient financial analysis.
