FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #63

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #63 - 14 May 2022

Dear colleagues,

Technology is a key enabler of FP&A activities. It allows us to collaborate across the organisation, analyse vast quantities of data, make accurate predictions for the future, and spend more time on high-value activities.

But did you know that only 7% of companies are happy with their current FP&A technology?

That is what we discovered in the FP&A Trends Survey 2021. It was an improvement on the previous year, when only 4% were happy, but the percentage is still strikingly low.

It is clear that we have a long way to come with FP&A technology, which is why we have made it the theme for this digest.

In this issue, you will find a CPM trend report; an article on emerging planning tools; a breakdown of the key success factors for the FP&A system implementation; a guide for improving user adoption; and a video case study on the use of predictive analytics and machine learning at Microsoft.

Improving our satisfaction with our technology requires understanding it better, and I hope this digest will help you to do just that.

Kind regards,

Larysa Melnychuk

CEO and Founder
