In Part 1 of this 6-part blog series we discussed embracing theconsumerization of IT and in Part 2 we found out that software in the cloud is a great option for some businesses. In Part 3 we learned that “Big Data” is a big problem.
This week, in Part 4 we will discover a fourth budget boosting theme – around the importance of budgeting for technology and taking th
e reins when it comes to making decisions.
Plan, Plan, Plan
Technology and tech vendors can only do so much for a company that lacks a plan and a team to support new initiatives. To help small to mid-sized Energy Services companies safely get from concept to planning, we encourage our clients to consider SAP BusinessObjects Edge Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC). It provides ready access to business data you can trust. The application helps create efficiency across planning, execution, reporting, and monitoring activities – so you can focus less on the technology and more on your current projects in the field.
SAP BPC overcomes the limits of manual planning and forecasting with rapid insights to your business. It streamlines and automates strategic planning and budgeting with both a top-down and bottom-up approach. This simplifies forecasting and leveraging of historical operations and financial data. In the end, planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting are streamlined into efficient, collaborative, dependable processes.
