With 88% of respondents still using spreadsheets for budgeting within their organizations, the amount of those wanting easier testing of what-if scenarios is telling - spreadsheets just aren't cutting it any more considering the pace of business operations today. Is it time to move beyond the spreadsheet? Centage certainly hopes so. Its Maestro Suite of solutions aims to eliminate the time-consuming and often error-prone activities associated with using spreadsheets, revealing how well a business is performing, helping forecast and report on future financial health far more accurately.
"We weren't terribly surprised to see the correlation between CFOs still using spreadsheets and their desire for easier access to what-if scenarios," said David Winterhalter, vice president of marketing for Centage. "Spreadsheets have never been able to provide that flexibility, which is why we developed the Maestro Suite with the most robust forecasting and planning tools available on the market."
