The planning tool as an indispensable instrument

Increasing digitalisation presents a great challenge to companies, both today and tomorrow. However, it is not just the variety of data sources and formats, the data volume or the high speed of data creation. Only someone who understands how to analyse all types of company data properly can gain groundbreaking insights. Even if companies use data collection and analysis consistently, the information cannot be used optimally in perspective if there is a lack of planning tools. This can limit the ability to act in certain areas:

  • Positioning relative to the competition cannot be optimised.

  • Budgeting cannot be substantiated and planned in a targeted manner.

  • Opportunities and risks may be overlooked for lack of forecasts.

  • The chance to correct possible predictions is lacking.

  • Processes cannot be planned and controlled in the long term.

A planning tool bridges this gap in business intelligence (BI). Because analysis and planning are the mainstays of an effective BI solution.
