Overview: Business Performance Management (BPM) is a methodology to help the company predict its performance. An integral part of a BPM strategy is a process for Budgeting, Planning, and Forecasting which is typically performed by the Finance department. When it comes to Finance, nothing is simple, and budgeting is no exception. The temptation is to buy expensive prepackaged software but even that route would require a lot of customization and compromises.
Join this session to learn how to implement your own home-grown solution using Microsoft Analysis Services and Excel. I’ll share lessons learned from a real-life project.
