Ventana Research - Adaptive Planning Advances Finance via SaaS

Ventana Research - Adaptive Planning Advances Finance via SaaS (en anglais)

Ventana Research expects finance organizations to increase steadily their adoption of software as a service (SaaS). One of the more promising uses will be in supporting planning for midsize companies (and some larger ones as well). Adaptive Planning offers SaaS versions of its Express and Enterprise planning and budgeting software, as well as the option of on-premises licensing. Companies can try an SaaS version for free for an unlimited amount time without even having to install it. (Those that decide to implement it on their premises have that option at any time.) We believe Adaptive Planning’s software can be an attractive choice for midsize companies that want to transition from spreadsheet budgeting but do not want to invest in more IT infrastructure and software. There are, however, two instances that require payment. One is that to make it a truly useful enterprise tool, a company will need to buy capabilities such as reporting. Another is that if you want help in setting up and configuring the system, the company sells professional services to speed the transition. (Disponible en anglais seulement)
