Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Furmano’s currently uses Prophix as a centralized repository for actual financial results, forecasts, and budgets, as well as a platform for building comparative analytics and preparing financial statements. The system supports the company’s need to develop presentations, analyses, and reporting for both internal leadership and external stakeholders.
Our primary use case is within the finance function, where the platform is used to organize and consolidate financial data across multiple reporting needs. At present, however, the team primarily uses Prophix for data management and extraction. Data is frequently exported into Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint for additional manipulation, reporting, and presentation development.
One of the key opportunities for improvement is additional user training and adoption. Our finance team would benefit from a deeper understanding of the platform’s full capabilities so we can better utilize Prophix as a true single source of truth and integrated reporting solution, rather than relying heavily on downstream manual reporting processes.
