DALLAS, TEXAS, January 19, 2009 – River Logic, Inc., the leading provider of Integrated Business Planning and advanced business modeling software, is please to announce its cosponsoring of Aberdeen Group’s most recent benchmark report, “Making Integrated Business Planning Pay Off: Bridging Supply, Demand, and Finance.”
The report validates River Logic’s vision and value proposition of increasing financial performance through an integrated planning and business modeling platform. By adopting Integrated Business Planning (IBP), decision makers can improve profitability by looking at both revenues and costs in a holistic manner.
The report, which includes survey results from 129 enterprises, highlights performance improvements and characteristics that distinguish Best-In-Class organizations. Sample characteristics of these Best-In-Class performers are:
- 6 times as likely as all others to have the ability to model pricing as a parameter to shape demand
- 7 times as likely as all others to have the ability to proactively monitor daily performance against IBP metrics
- 2.5 times as likely as all others to have the ability to enable feedback from the financial planning and budgeting process to the S&OP process
“Vendors specializing in IBP, such as River Logic, are deploying sophisticated solutions that align demand and supply planning with financial planning,” states Nari Viswanathan, principal analyst, Aberdeen. “By connecting analysis to financial outcomes, management can determine which plans, activities, and resources will deliver the greatest return in terms of Return on Net Assets, working capital, profits, cash flow, and other financial metrics.”
River Logic’s award-winning software, Enterprise Optimizer® (EO), removes departmental barriers by connecting planning across the enterprise. Specifically, EO connects strategic and operational planning directly to financial outcomes. EO, which uses activity-based modeling, constraint-oriented process modeling, and comprehensive financial modeling, improves decision support through product profitability, customer and channel optimization, inventory strategy optimization, capital asset strategy and S&OP.
