Are you struggling with project planning and forecasting in the dynamic world of Construction & Engineering? Find out how to get a grip with the right EPM solutions!
We see it again and again: the unique project-driven nature of the Construction & Engineering sector places specific demands on planning, budgeting and forecasting. Finance departments look at aggregate numbers and calendar years, while project teams steer by deadlines, hours and materials. How do you effectively bridge that gap? And how do you make sure your EPM system really works for everyone in the organization, from the project manager to the CFO?
We understand that finding the right approach can be challenging. This webinar on project planning and forecasting for the Construction & Engineering sector is going to help you with it.
What will all be covered?
In this webinar, we dive deeper into the core challenges and solutions for EPM in Construction & Engineering:
- The challenge: We explore why planning in this sector is so complex, with different information needs for finance, project control and operations.
- Why one system doesn't always work: We discuss the limitations of a "one-size-fits-all" approach and the pitfalls of a plethora of Excel sheets.
- The power of a modular approach: Discover why we believe in a "best-of-breed" strategy, where you choose the best-fit tool for each specific process (fit-for-purpose). We share examples with solutions such as Vena, OneStream, Targetik and ERP systems.
- Integration is crucial: A modular approach hinges on seamless data integration, data quality and good master data management. We'll discuss how to approach this successfully.
- Focus on the user and the process: Learn why supporting operational processes and putting the end user at the center leads to better data, higher adoption and more accurate financial forecasts.
- Case Studies: We illustrate the power of the right EPM approach with concrete use cases, such as cash flow forecasting from resource planning, risk and opportunity management and integrated consolidation and forecasting.
- The Future Vision: We share our dream scenarios for further integration and automation within EPM for the industry.
Finext consultants Jeroen Beentjes and Gert-Jan van den Berg will discuss this topic, led by host Benno van Ingen. They will share their vision and practical experiences on how to take project planning and forecasting to the next level.
