GVTC's BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidations Software Solution

We purchased SAP BPC and, within SAP BPC, we used the tool to build several applications from which we use to budget and do our budgeting forecasting and financial reporting. At that time, it was just Outlook Soft and what I liked about that application was it had an Excel frontend on it, and so, it leveraged Excel which we were all familiar with and that was very, very appealing to me. And so, what we did is, now, what's referred to BPC for Excel, is the primary application that we utilize and we developed multiple applications within that.

We've got another application that we refer to as our Cap-X application which handles—we've got a very significant capital budget that we do. Then we built another application which we refer to as our Churn application and that application, basically, allows the sales and marketing team to budget our customer-based growth and attrition. And so, that module is how we, basically, baseline the budget, all of our customer ebbs and flows, our adds and our churn.

And then we've got what we call an HCM, human capital management, our HCM module and that's where we do all of our payroll budgeting. We, literally, load in the census from all of our employee base and it literally handles it at literally an employee level all of the budgeting and costing/forecasting for all of our payroll burden and benefits. Those are the primary applications that we have that we use to do all of our budgeting as well as our financial reporting.
