Five things to look for in an enterprise planning and budgeting system

As companies struggle with the uncertainties of rapidly recovering markets and global instabilities, many have come to realize that they cannot plan and forecast with the speed and agility they require. Improving their planning and budgeting processes continues to be their high priority. When they look for new solutions, they are confronted with a bewildering array of choices and are forced to decide between cloud, on-premise, and in-house solutions. Further, they have to decide between automating their current processes or selecting a solution with functionality that will allow their organization to explore newer methodologies, such as driver-based budgeting and integrated business planning, that are delivering transformational benefits.
