Benefits
Automatic variance breakdown

User intuitive wizards of processing and importing in data ensure frequent analysis becomes routine and simple. Common data processing errors and mundane tasks are eliminated throughout the process and the success of reaching corporate and departmental goals becomes very apparent.
Graphical trend analysis
Prophix's graphical management reports display historical trends and a forward looking view to help analyze and compare key drivers and financial information. Executives have absolute freedom to compare and contrast information and to easily recognize trends and significant variances between plans, forecasts and actual data.
Complete data cross-examination
When it is necessary to analyze another piece of data for context, stakeholders harness the real power of Prophix by drilling through and dragging and dropping financial and non-financial measures within the Prophix business model. This type of analysis is nearly impossible in other systems without risking data integrity and security. The centralized control of information provides answers to specific business questions in a secure and timely manner without IT involvement.
