    Definitely suited best for B2B / B2B2C product modelling. We used this for B2B / B2B2C / C2C and the C2C side of things was always more complex to model out due to this being dependent on marketing spend (CAC) and factors around virality which really cannot be forecasted (not a shortcoming of Causal, just implied by the mechanics of modelling)

    My favorite part is using if for analytical review reports, especially budget to actual reviews. I can make changes to the GL based on issues found during the review and the report updates immediately without having to update, re-key, verify changes, etc. I know it is going to be updated and correct every time.

    • Once a worksheet has been created, you can change a single cell and update the entire report. This makes it much easier than recreating a report every time you start.
    • It draws data directly from our database that can be filtered down in various ways. This allows us to get the data that we really need quicker.

    • Access to comprehensive training for new users is lacking. While the pay-based BizNet University has some useful videos it doesn't allow for other learning styles.
    • Having to create a separate OCBC data source and linked server for each arm of business opened is sometimes a hassle.

    Lack of communication from BizNet on new policies with the resellers, changes in the policies that affect the client aren't positive in my opinion

    We went pretty seamlessly into BizNet, but could have had lots of trouble if the professional service was not aware of our set up and use.

    FRX - Great Plains Report Writer - These do produce financial reports but are much more tedious to set up. BizNet is much more flexible and easier to use. The functionality is an Excel add-on which allows us to use the powerful functionality of Excel as well as Biznet's functionality to do data retrieval from Sage 100 general ledger.

    • BizNet continues to pay for itself.
    • I am sure we haven't even learned to use half of what it is capable of and their customer service is top notch.
    • I would say that BizNet continues to have a positive impact on our entire financial portion of our business.
