Spaulding Ridge can work with you to select and implement the right BSM tool for your needs.

The Future of FP&A

Machine-Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Explainability…

Excel was debuted in 1985. It’s initial use was the same then as it is today: to aggregate and access data – not to be a 360-degree financing tool, which is how more than half of mid- and large-size companies utilize it. It’s time to adopt purpose-built FP&A and xP&A platforms that give you the connectivity, flexibility, security, governance, and controls you need.

These new systems also give you next-gen tools to manage your finances, like Anaplan’s PlanIQ. By combining your xP&A with the power of Machine Learning (ML), you can use your full historical, internal, and external data sets to evaluate scenarios and make reliable predictions.

This innovation isn’t stopping, either – level-up your finance operation and stay ahead of the competition.
