MEET	
  YOUR	
  NEWLY

  PLANNING	
  
PROCESS	
  
	
  
The	
  financial	
  planning	
  process	
  is	
  often	
  an	
  intense	
  and	
  complex	
  process	
  that	
  spans	
  multiple	
  business	
  
groups	
  within	
  most	
  organizations	
  and	
  consists	
  of	
  many	
  internally	
  homegrown	
  financial	
  models	
  and	
  
spreadsheets.	
  The	
  bulk	
  of	
  time	
  seems	
  to	
  be	
  spent	
  on	
  managing	
  the	
  process	
  and	
  coordinating	
  tasks,	
  
to	
  create	
  a	
  unified	
  view	
  from	
  across	
  the	
  organization,	
  rather	
  than	
  analyzing	
  the	
  results	
  to	
  enable	
  
improved	
  business	
  decision	
  making—the	
  original	
  intent	
  of	
  the	
  exercise.	
  
	
  
The	
  RAMP	
  planning	
  platform	
  introduces	
  the	
  benefits	
  of	
  standardization	
  and	
  unification	
  to	
  the	
  planning	
  process.	
  	
  
	
  
Comprehensive	
  views	
  can	
  be	
  achieved	
  from	
  differing	
  levels	
  within	
  the	
  organization,	
  from	
  cost	
  center	
  to

  and	
  overarching	
  
corporate	
  level	
  plans.	
  Changes,	
  what-­‐if	
  analyses	
  and	
  modified	
  assumptions	
  can	
  be	
  evaluated	
  with	
  greater	
  efficiency	
  and	
  the
