The 2008 budgeting process is just around the corner. If you want to this year to be different from the past, you need to start planning now. Fortunately, it’s now easier than ever before to transform your budgeting and forecasting processes — it can be done in just weeks.

Learn how leading mid-market companies and nonprofit organizations such as AAA, CollabNet, Healthways, Med-Eng, and NASCO have been able to move beyond Excel in a matter of weeks and:

Decrease budgeting time by 67% while reducing errors

Enable monthly re-forecasting

Deeply involve BU managers in planning and reporting

Enable timely what-if analyses to support key decisions

Make Finance a value-added, strategic function

Join Craig Schiff, CEO of analyst firm BPM Partners; Tom Clark, Vice President, Finance at CollabNet; and Rob Hull, co-founder and CFO of Adaptive Planning, as they discuss “BPM 2.0,” exciting new approaches that are transforming the staid world of spreadsheet-based budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. In addition to examining the drivers of BPM 2.0, they will also review numerous real-world success stories from companies that have benefited from these key new techniques.

In particular, Tom Clark will share lessons learned from CollabNet’s BPM experience — how they moved from “breaking Excel” to improving the efficiency of their planning process by up to 40%, increasing the frequency of forecasting, and enabling previously impossible what-if analyses—all without installing any new software.
