Additional Product Information


CONTROL® is a dynamic tool for every aspect of financial management. It delivers industrial strength functionality for the entire planning, budgeting, reporting and analysis cycle providing one unified view of your financial and operational data, saving time, eliminating disconnects, fueling visibility, collaboration and strategic alignment and optimal decision making across the organization.

CONTROL® stands apart from oher Corporate Performance Management offerings in many respects:

- It is ONE tool with the functional breadth and depth to support EVERY aspect of financial and performance management ── planning, budgeting, forecasting, modeling, financial consolidations, management reporting and analysis ── with embedded user-access rights and privileges.

- It is totally dynamic. Everything takes place on the spot ── computations, consolidations, and re-organizations ── and the impact is seen in real-time ── when you need it, where you need it, how you need it ── not when it is too late to do something.

- It employs an instantly familiar Microsoft Excel interface, leverages its power and capitalizes on your knowlege and investment in spreadsheets.

- It is a purist among performance management tools, running completely on a standard relational databases, including Oracle, Microsoft’s SQL Server, IBM’s DB2, UDB and Informix. There is no secondary database, no pipeline to another relational database, no proprietary database, no interim reporting "cubes" and no database explosion issues.

- It has no technical limitations on the number of dimensions or data and scales to thousands of users in both complex and geographically dispersed environments.

- It readily conforms to your exacting requirements, integrates ALL types of data, interoperates with existing heterogeneous systems, conforms to your standard IT infrastructure, and easily adapts as needs change.

Under CONTROL's one-stop paradigm, metadata, data and business rules and security used for budgeting, planning, score-carding, reporting and metrics management are directly and dynamically shared and accessed using an interface that looks the same to everyone and is navigated in the same way. This holistic approach provides the requisite cohesion needed to align plans with strategy and the visibility to achieve and sustain peak performance.
