In today's volatile business environment, the role of FP&A in managing enterprise performance is critical. The accelerating change and complexity of competitive markets, global economies, and operational execution has pushed FP&A into the spotlight for effective decision making, accurate planning, and reliable forecasting.

Now more than ever, FP&A must collaborate more closely with other departments. This includes building more sophisticated models, collecting updated data from individuals, and adjusting to new business requirements.

Unfortunately, FP&A teams spend most of their time collecting and organizing data from different sources. An unbelievable 75% of their time according to APQC. Even harder to believe is that this metric has only decreased by 2% since 2010.

Today’s leaders must reconsider the amount of time and resources spent on accurate plans, and they must continuously adjust operations to meet the plan targets. Real-time access to plans, metrics, and data-driven decisions is driving digital transformation, particularly in the areas of data integration across different departments and systems.
