What do you like best?
It is very flexible in that you can set it up to handle almost any type of analysis that you normally do. You can make design different financial statements, build budgets, forecasts, and cash flow forecasts.
What do you like least/what could be improved?
The structure is very complex. It takes a great deal of training to understand how to set up the models just to get the base information structure in place. Building reports also requires training. It would save a lot of time if there were out of box reports that the user could then modify for use.
What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?
It is fine if there is a dedicated FP&A function that will work in the system.
How would you sum up your experience?
It is very rich, but very complex to learn.
