Here at AMS we work with small and medium businesses that are tired of being restricted by their basic accounting packages.   They need a way to grow the business while not having to worry if their systems will handle the additional transactions, new regulations, or even the new offices and distribution centers being opened. Whether they decide to go with a SaaS solution like SAP Business ByDesign, or an on-premise business system like Sage ERP, we know that the company will benefit.

What we have seen, though, is that while the business processes are ready to be handled by a more robust software solution like an ERP system, there is still an area where some companies have been reluctant to change: financial planning.

What's in a Spreadsheet?

It's only natural. The wheel that squeaks loudest gets the oil, and so it happens with accounting, sales, marketing.... but neglecting to revamp your processes and systems used for budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting and analysis is a big mistake.

The multitude of spreadsheets used today to plan your business are likely to give you headaches as soon as you start expanding, so what can you do now to avoid problems in the future? AMS now provides a solution we believe is a key component for any small or medium business trying to grow:  Adaptive Planning.

Corporate Performance Management

Adaptive Planning is our tool of choice for CPM, or corporate performance management. We have selected this on-demand, completely integrated performance management solution because it has demonstrated it can take care of the job while not complicating the process.

Adaptive Planning automates the Corporate Performance Management cycle, which includes budgeting, reporting, analysis, and re-forecasting. A truly integrated and automated solution, it allows for tight collaboration among managers throughout the organization, as well as tight integration between systems – the GL and other enterprise systems, and the software used for planning, reporting, and analysis.
