Features and benefits:
Simulation and planning based upon actual cause
& effect
relationships – The
solution adds “intelligence” to your simulation and
planning. It does so by using an ABC approach to establish a cause-and-effect
link between the organization’s use of resources and the
products and services provided. This relationship is often absent
in traditional planning methods.
proDacapo Interactive Business Planning will make your planning
and simulations more accurate, as they will be based on factual
relationships, not on managers’ estimates or extrapolations
based on the past.
Rapid simulation, planning and reforecasting – The
solution provides a unique, user-friendly, step-by-step wizard
that facilitates
and speeds up your simulation and planning work.
Because your model will be based on actual cause-and-effect relationships,
it will allow you to perform simulations and reforecasts without
involving each and every cost center manager. This means you
can quickly and easily model multiple scenarios for decision-making.
Manage and compare multiple scenarios – Several planning
scenarios can be created in a single model in order to simulate
different outcomes based on alternative assumptions.
User-friendly analysis and reporting – The solution offers
an extensive suite of analysis and reporting options as well as
a powerful built-in tool for easy creation of user-defined reports
and charts. In addition the solution allows you to export information
to practically any application – from MS Excel to data warehousing
environments, budgeting, finance and consolidation systems, as
well as to leading OLAP tools.
Easy to integrate with existing IT-systems –
proDacapo Interactive
Business Planning includes an ETL-tool (Extract-Transform-Load)
that can automatically retrieve data from all your current IT systems
and update proDacapo. Your other systems can also be easily updated with
