Integrated Business Planning with OneStream
The outcome of the Brexit, the US-China trade conflict, the price of a barrel of oil or commodity prices? The outcome of these developments is highly uncertain. This also applies to market developments. We may make forecasts, but the future cares little about our forecasts; the future takes its own course. Nevertheless, organizations must anticipate not only geopolitical and macroeconomic developments but also changes in, for example, the sales funnel, restrictions in the supply of materials or available capacity of resources.
Integrated Business Planning
Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is therefore high on the CFO's agenda. This planning process links strategy with operational planning on an ongoing basis. The goal is for the organization to achieve its strategic and derived financial and operational objectives and targets. Think of market share, revenue, gross margin, EBIT, cash, working capital or delivery reliability.
OneStream as a platform for IBP
Software vendor OneStream offers an integrated software platform to facilitate IBP. An integrated planning process supported by one integrated platform brings the functional plans together into a jointly supported and robust plan for the future. One coherent set of figures ('one number' plan) with which you send Sales, Marketing and Supply Chain on their way to one common goal. This also increases the content and quality of financial forecasts because they are based on concrete plans that will be implemented in the operation.
