Expensewatch.com and Adaptive Planning Provide
Customers With Real-Time Budget Creation and Operating Expense Control
Conshohocken, Pa. and Mountain View, Calif., October 17,
2006
Expensewatch.com, a complete operating expense control service,
and Adaptive Planning, the leader in collaborative business
performance management (BPM) solutions, today announced a
partnership to align their financial management software.
Together, they will enable customers to automate budgeting and
forecasting, and then manage budgets vs. actual spending in
real-time, resulting in improved visibility into, and control
of, business performance.
Telemanagement Forum, a leadership organization serving the
information and communications industries, is using the systems
to streamline its budgeting and forecasting processes.
These solutions have allowed us transform our budgeting
processes from start to finish, said James Metzger, CFO for
Telemanagement Forum. We are creating budgets and forecasts in
significantly less time and with greater accuracy, and will now
be able to update them on a month-to-month rolling basis.
After using Adaptive Planning to create company-wide revenue and
expense plans, users can export budgets into expensewatch.com to
control spending at the point of approval. Conversely,
users can export the comprehensive, real-time spending data from
expensewatch.com directly into Adaptive Planning to streamline
ongoing forecasting.
This is a powerful solution to keep spending in line with the
changing needs of business, said Bill Vergantino, CEO of
expensewatch.com. We think it will fundamentally shift how
companies approach their budgeting process. Instead of lengthy
annual reviews, we see companies preparing budgets on the fly
using up-to-the-minute spending data exported from
expensewatch.com.
We are pleased to be working with expensewatch.com, said
William A. Soward, CEO of Adaptive Planning. Both of our
companies provide leading solutions for optimizing financial
management processes. Now, by joining together to deliver a
closed-loop solution for creating budgets and managing expenses,
we allow companies to improve both visibility into and control
of their performance, providing even greater value for our
respective customers and the broader market.
The companies plan to collaborate closely in the areas of sales
and marketing, training and product support.
