A survey of 1,245 planning software users has identified BI and CPM platform BOARD software as the best for planning functionality.

 

With 26 leading positions in the BARC Planning Survey 16, BOARD software ranked top or leading across multiple peer groups for planning functionality, reporting/analysis functionality, flexibility and self-service.

 

The survey authors said BOARD offers “comprehensive planning functionality for a variety of use cases,” even though it is not a pure planning solution (BOARD Software also offers business intelligence capabilities).

 

“Functionality like data allocation and simulation support top down planning approaches, while workflows, commenting features and the web client for plan data are available for bottom up approaches.

 

“Furthermore, planning models can be developed or planning forms built by business users thanks to BOARD’s ease of use.” they wrote.

 

Professional Advantage business development manager Jonathan Marcer said BARC’s survey findings reflect BOARDs powerful capabilities, high degree of customisation and intuitive user experience.

 

“BOARD software helps businesses transform their planning, analytical and reporting processes. As one of Australia’s leading BOARD software partners and a large practice with expert application consultants and a dedicated support desk, we’ve witnessed many success stories,” he said.
