Integrated Business Planning

Integrated Business Planning delivers true enterprise-side visibility

Today most companies make decisions in silos without taking into account how this will impact another business unit and also fall victim to a number of unforeseen factors. Integrated Business Planning (IBP) solves this problem by simulating the impact of a decision across the entire physical and financial network, taking into account the relevant constraints and highlighting the real financial impact of a decision.

Integrated Business Planning provides a holistic model of the company and the extended value chain. IBP which combines strategy and operations with financial planning, increases agility and responsiveness, while providing a platform for integrated decision-making that is directly linked to financial outcomes. The key value proposition of Integrated Business Planning is the ability to examine both the revenues as well as cost in a holistic fashion in order to improve company profitability.

An Integrated Business Planning system incorporates activity based costing, constraint-oriented process modelling and comprehensive financial modelling to provide an enterprise-wide view of the business that supports all the important strategic and tactical decisions. Understanding the business end to end, including operational and financial factors, is critical to properly assessing the opportunities and threats facing a company.
