Ross EPM Budgeting

Delivering the Means to Boost Profitability

With a centralized database and administrative controls, Ross EPM Budgeting unifies and streamlines budgeting, planning, forecasting, analysis and reporting processes, as well as aligns operations and finance departmental objectives in these processes. The "single version of the truth" significantly reduces reporting cycle times while ensuring 100% accuracy.

Ross EPM Budgeting allows customers to create and maintain

"Top down" plans that communicate the executives' organizational objectives to management. "Bottoms up" budgets that incorporate valuable operational assumptions and details from management

Rolling budgets and forecasts, following best practices which are refreshed by the latest financial and operational data from the most recent month or quarter.

Management can compare "actual vs. planned" from current and previous time periods, and current forecast projections. With "what-if" capabilities, business scenarios, conditions, drivers, rates, and assumptions can be tested and evaluated to predict future performance. With improved predictability and greater accountability, management can significantly reduce the variance between budget and actual performance.

Workflows support multi-level approval processes employed in the planning, budgeting, and forecasting cycles. Management can define what information needs to be collected, when it needs to be collected, and from whom it needs to be collected from. Email notifications can be delivered to those individuals whose requested reviews or approvals are overdue. With improved collaboration, executives and management can make quicker and better-informed financial decisions that help align corporate planning and budgeting numbers.
