Setting up<\/b> the budget documents<\/span><\/p>\nInfoSuite automatically incorporates historical or statistical data as proposals to your budget entry. This means that you do not have to manually fill in the document fields with relevant data.<\/p>\n
Also, we have predefined formulas and an established relation between your budgets, always making them coherent and mutually updated. You and the company spreadsheet expert will not have to spend time defining the formulas behind.<\/p>\n
You are let off the spreadsheet trouble: no formulas, no chains to be updated and troubleshooted, and no manual updates of the budget basis.<\/p>\n

Entry of budgets<\/b><\/p>\n
InfoSuite provides the budget administrator with the best opportunities to create a streamlined budget entry throughout the organisation.<\/p>\n
Authorisation management, databased proposals and text notes ensure that employees quickly can enter in the right places based on the right prerequisites.<\/p>\n
This will spare the person entering in the budget from using unnecessary time keeping himself informed of non-relevant parts of the budget, and he or she can quickly be oriented in the relevant information.<\/p>\n
Support functions, such as calculator, budgeting of residuals, and allocation keys, facilitates the entry procedure.<\/p>\n

Consolidation<\/b> of budgets<\/span><\/p>\nConsolidation is often a heavy part of a budgeting process, as it requires manual handling.<\/p>\n
However, in InfoSuite the consolidation is completely automatic. Each time an entry is made into a budget, all related budgets are updated instantly.<\/p>\n
Consequently, you do not have to waste time collecting partial budgets from departments and subsidiaries. Moreover, you avoid the errors that often occur when budgets are being brought together from various documents.<\/span><\/p>\nFunctions simplifying consolidation<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Choose between budget versions and models<\/span><\/li>\n

Follow-up <\/b>on budgets<\/span><\/p>\nFrom dashboards, InfoSuite provides the overview of your actual performance compared to the budgets. In addition, you can create weekly or monthly reporting telling the relevant employees in the company whether you are on track.<\/p>\n
Thus, you will not have to compare data from different documents and systems each time you follow up on the budget.<\/p>\n
The InfoSuite workflow function also helps you and your colleagues to manage the budgeting process and makes sure your follow up is on schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
