UK-based consumer credit company Provident International
is planning to implement real-time
analytics software to provide financial forecasting and
consolidation across its entire international
division.
The company will roll out software from
Applix to about 50 users in 20 business units spanning seven
European countries as well as Mexico. The Applix software will be
used to manage profit and loss, balance sheets and cash-flow
forecasting.
The Applix software will enable staff at Provident International
to access reports via Excel or through Web-based user interfaces.
Provident International expects to use Applix to revise assumptions
in budgets and plans, run “what-if” scenarios, re-calculate data to
reflect new real-time information, and develop charts directly in a
Web browser.
