[For Mid-sized and Large Enterprises] Webinar on 'Excel Budget Management Fails to Test Scenarios Needed for Decision-Making'

■ Importance of Rolling Forecasts
Market conditions, personnel costs, and raw material costs are becoming increasingly volatile year by year, requiring rapid course correction from management planning and finance departments. However, many companies are making corrections on a semi-annual basis, or at best quarterly, leading to delays in management decisions. In modern times, it is crucial to have a budget management system that can quickly simulate multiple scenarios and link them to decision-making, assuming constant change.

■ Limitations of Excel Budget Management
Excel-centric budget management often fails to provide sufficient simulations quickly when needed, primarily due to: ① input errors and verification mistakes, ② reliance on individuals (due to complex formulas and macros), ③ lack of real-time original data, ④ unstable performance (too slow), and ⑤ complex access control management. Furthermore, companies operating globally face the risk of opportunity loss because they cannot immediately verify exchange rate fluctuation risks.

■ Real-time Management with "Advanced Simulation Functions" x "AI Functions"
In this seminar, we will introduce Workday Adaptive Planning, the world's No. 1 leader product adopted by 6,500 companies, with actual screen demonstrations.
Workday Adaptive Planning is a cloud-based corporate performance management solution that integrates budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, and actuals management on a single platform. Data can be imported and immediately visualized in reports and dashboards.
It also features unlimited version control, allowing instant creation and comparison of multiple scenarios. For example, it can immediately calculate the impact of changes in assumptions such as "if sales decrease by 10%," "if costs increase," or "if exchange rates fluctuate" (supporting over 100 currencies). Furthermore, its AI-powered automatic future data prediction function and anomaly detection function that identifies unnatural values support rapid course correction. The seminar will explain how to achieve budget and management that can respond quickly to changes, balancing the accuracy and speed of simulation operations.

■ Recommended for:
- Management planning and finance departments of large enterprises feeling the limitations of Excel or other budget management systems
- Those struggling with slow management decisions due to time-consuming data updates and aggregation
- Those having difficulty coordinating between departments due to inability to centrally manage personnel plans and multiple scenarios
- Companies operating globally and requiring responses to currency fluctuation risks
