A New Service for the New Normal
The economic uncertainty caused by the global pandemic showed many companies that they needed modern planning systems that are more agile, more comprehensive, more collaborative, with shorter cycle times, and greater ease of use and Finance self-sufficiency. Even as the pandemic itself wanes, its economic impact will still be felt for years to come. In addition, inflation and the risk of a recession continue to create new economic challenges.
The very same economic uncertainty that causes companies to want to replace their systems, makes them want to move forward cautiously with minimal risk and cost, while still trying to put these systems in place as soon as possible.
The Vendor Selection Express Service from BPM Partners, the leading independent FP&A vendor selection advisory services firm, addresses the need to quickly, confidently, and cost-effectively select a new system in this uncertain environment.
This service is designed for Midmarket organizations evaluating planning and reporting systems for 20 users or less.
