Time
One of the most costly aspects of planning for most companies is the time involved. Putting together an effective forecast can take weeks or even months, depending on your company’s scope and needs.
Sage Budgeting and Planning addresses the time-consuming components of planning head on to reduce your planning time dramatically and increase the time available for strategic analysis.
Sage does this by enabling collaboration across all lines of your business through web-based input channels and the ability to seamlessly combine budget submissions from multiple departments, divisions, or companies. It also allows you to instantly and accurately access both historical and current data from your enterprise wide database sources without importing or rekeying. Combine this with a familiar spreadsheet look and feel (for quicker learning) and the ability to roll your budget numbers forward and update your time periods (and associated data) quickly and easily, and the time savings add up rapidly and repeatedly year after year.
