Finance teams continue to be asked to do more with less. Also, they’re being asked do it faster with minimal errors. Historically, planning and budgeting solutions have been a critical way for organizations to build, test and measure their strategies, but most of the solutions fall short. They are not aligned to specific industry problems, leaving finance and operations recreating their models from scratch for each department every day and making it difficult to model and measure with the precision that any strategy requires. Additionally, for most businesses planning and budgeting are completely disconnected from business operations. If you can’t measure against your plan, there’s very little point in planning at all.
With its Planning and Budgeting, NetSuite has tackled the three core challenges of existing planning and budgeting tools, creating a solution that is unified, connected to the business and tailored by industry.
