Overall Satisfaction with SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
We used SAP BPC for annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, monthly Budvar analysis, and periodic external/internal reporting. We wanted to have an integrated suite of solutions that center around our ERP system, SAP. BPC was used globally throughout the organization.
- Integration with SAP actual results.
- Drilldown capabilities.
- Works well with Excel presentation.
- User interface not intuitive.
- Frequent system downtime/issues.
- No real-time update of entries.
- Allows tracking of actual operating results at a customized/detailed level that is much more cost-effective than implementing an SAP module to do so.
- Allows both top-down and bottom-up approaches in budgeting.
- Rapid implementation timeline (< 2 months) allows faster ROI.
