An organisation’s Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting processes are critical to the success of the business and key in aligning day-to-day activities with long-range business strategy. Creating and maintaining your Plans manually in Microsoft Excel® is highly popular with many SAP organisations, but requires considerable time and effort.

Rolling forecasts - also known as continuous planning - are an additional challenge when using Excel, again due to both the time and costs involved but can become a reality through an incremental approach. Tight budgets, reduced funding and the prioritisation of resources and assets add to the complexity of the overall challenge.
