Many of today’s insurance companies utilize disparate spreadsheets for financial planning. Although spreadsheets are both flexible and easy-to-use, they are also often prone to error. Business analysts spend more time checking for errors rather than analyzing results. Join Innovus as we showcase our new Planning Application Quick Start solution for Insurance companies. Leveraging a traditional on premise deployment or Oracle’s Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS), companies can take advantage of the application template that is configurable to support your planning process. Through a live demonstration, learn how our solution can accelerate the deployment of a planning application for your organization.
