From data silos to data-driven decisions: Efficient planning and forecasting in business intelligence platforms

ICV Live Webinar, language: German

In the ICV Live Webinar, participants immerse themselves in a revolutionary world in which Business Intelligence (BI) redefines traditional corporate planning. Together with the organizers, we will explore how connecting planning functions with BI systems enables more efficient and precise data analysis and forecasting. The journey takes you through the BI landscape, where data silos are broken down to ensure a comprehensive view of financial and operational data - a crucial step for effective planning.

Concrete case studies illustrate how companies save time and improve the accuracy of their forecasts by integrating their planning processes with BI. The ICV Live Webinar will highlight the advanced analytical capabilities of BI tools that make it possible to not only identify future trends and market changes, but to proactively respond to them.

Additionally, the best methods to seamlessly embed planning and forecasting into a company's BI strategy are discussed to promote an agile and data-driven corporate culture, essential for modern business success.

The ICV Live Webinar concludes with the challenges and opportunities of this strategic shift and an outlook on the increasingly important synergy between planning and business intelligence.
