Vanguard Predictive Planning™ for Finance
Still using spreadsheets? Stop! Using spreadsheets is a manually intensive, error-prone and archaic way of supporting FP&A. Spreadsheets lock-up data in silos and create more issues. This outdated approach results in poor performance for FP&A teams. Top performers are moving to automated, advanced analytic-powered, unified planning systems such as Vanguard Predictive Planning. With Vanguard, organizations can make decisions based on unified plans with less manual data entry.

Companies reach peak performance when sales, operations, and finance teams work together to forecast and plan their businesses. Vanguard’s Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) capabilities help finance teams bring together forecasts and plans from other departments, reconcile gaps between plans, and build consensus.
