exiio - taking your financial planning to a new level

The vast majority of businesses - of all sizes - use Excel to model their finances. If you are one of the many, you will know that building and using financial models in a complex environment can start to get problematic.

Excel is a great tool for analysing business data - everyone has it and everyone knows how to use it. On the other hand, if you have multiple different financial models based on different business types; if you need to consolidate data from multiple divisions and companies; if you need to chase and challenge divisional submissions  - then you will probably know that Excel has its limits. That's difficult enough - and it can make the task of achieving real business insight through sensitivity and what-if analyses seem unreachable.

Our solution, exiio, allows you to protect your investment in your Excel models, while overcoming the limitations of Excel. Your division and group finance team can work collaboratively on their models, building up a suite of scenarios that ensure you have explored all of your options.

Collaborative scenario management with exiio can help you to:

• Significantly reduce reporting timescales by faster and easier access to data through on-line collaboration
• Make better-informed decisions by evaluating more options, multiple scenarios and carrying out sensitivity analysis
• Spend less time wrestling data, more time working on corrective actions and strategic plans.
• Be confident that consistent business logic has been applied to all submissions - there is only one "version of the truth"
• Easily update models to reflect changed business priorities
• Easily retrace assumptions and change these in response to board queries and directives
• Quickly review new scenarios to determine implications of board decisions
• Reduce your costs by improving performance and avoid the alternative cost of re-engineering your Excel models to a new system.

Excel is easy, flexible, transparent and well understood by most employees. Why throw that away when you can make it easier to manage, share information, collaborate and explore all of your options?
