Strategic planning, budget creation, continual rolling forecast and scenario simulation are fundamental points of departure in the formation of budgets and forecasts and are natural settings for the Lilith platform. The advantage lies in the specific platform architecture, which, uniting the database with the calculation- simulation engine and with the whole range of diagrams, allows users to carry out the entire process within the same environment. Consistency is assured even during the inevitable reworking and adjustments in all stages of development, negotiation and distribution.
Strategic Planning
Lilith is able to manage quality information with the same efficiency and ergonomic care as it would treat all quantity information.
The process is interactive and must assure automatic consolidation functions, that is: the opportunity to add comments to diagrams and charts, commentator traceability, quantity and quality data browsing, export in Excel [TM] and pdf formats, web-based architecture, etc.
Budgeting
Lilith Enterprise has inherent product functions able to improve the definition and implementation of budget models to the highest degree. Normalization and breakdown functions applied to data structures allow a significant reduction in the complexity of software development to cover budget process requirements.
Simulation and Rolling Forecast models
The rolling forecast process involves many Lilith Enterprise functions and features: data entry, calculation, simulation, and consolidation. Part of it also follows the same 'route' and methodology taken by the budget process.
An accurate rolling forecast system, able to integrate different scenarios and receive peripheral input, is a valuable form of decision-making support.
