Prepare2PLAN® - Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting made easy

Unlimited possibilities for limited budgets

Superior financial planning and management are crucial for survival in today's economic climate. Brovanture has worked to create a dynamic mix of Hyperion Planning Software, along with a combination of training, implementation and support methodologies. This framework enables business driver based planning, budgeting and forecasting in mid-market organisations.

The mid-market executive today is continuously looking to improve performance, connect with customers, streamline supply chains and build solid infrastructure - Oracle-Hyperion provides a dynamic mix of Budgeting, Forecasting and Reporting products ideal for this audience.

What it does

Brovanture's Prepare2PLAN® (utilising Oracle Hyperion Planning) is ideal for planning during difficult times. It allows companies to quickly and successfully:

• Gain control of their financial outlook
• Evaluate the potential business and cash impacts of strategic and tactical actions
• Reset financial plans to deal with the national downturn and the subsequent recovery

Prepare2PLAN® allows finance executives to easily create and compare multiple top-down planning scenarios to understand how changes in key drivers would impact their business.

With powerful "what-if" modelling capabilities, executives can analyse how varying sales volumes, expense levels, capital expenditures and other considerations would impact cash flow by modelling their balance sheet, cash flow and income statements allowing them to make rapid and thorough operational decisions.

In addition, Prepare2PLAN® provides visibility into revenue and expense forecasts by capturing collaborative, real-time inputs from managers throughout a company. For example, companies can poll their sales organisations for up-to-the-minute perspectives on pipelines, or gather input from cost centre managers on opportunities for further expense reductions.

In a volatile economic environment, spreadsheet-based planning is simply insufficient - it is too slow, error-prone, and non-collaborative.
