In today’s world, the only certainties are information overload, rapid change and global integration. Corporate executives and planners are tasked with making key decisions in a world that involves far less predictability than ever before. The key to improving strategic decision making and planning processes requires vastly improved integration of organizations, functions, and information. No longer can silo-based planning processes co-exist. Finance, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Operations and other divisions need to work together.
How is this achieved? Integrated business planning (IBP) provides the answer. By engaging all functions, pulling together disparate sources of information, and creating a trully collaborative planning and forecasting process, enormous progress can be made. Steelwedge offers a unique and effective approach to this problem. By integrating SAP FPM (Financial Performance Management) with SAP APO Supply Chain Management (SCM), Salesforce.com CRM information, and other tools, Steelwedge is able to drive a truly unified, “one number forecast” that engages organizations and builds consensus.
Steelwedge is realizing this powerful vision today by working closely with its customers as well as with SAP and other partners. What are your thoughts?
