Easy Interface to JD Edwards

Working Smarter

In any industry, the old adage “work smarter, not harder,” can be beneficial to your overall performance. Improving productivity and efficiency while lowering stress and making your tasks and responsibilities easier is the goal to working smart. This applies to collaborative planning, budgeting, and forecasting, which, without the right tools, can be daunting on its best day. Having the right tools to save you time and improve output can help any team to work smarter with ease.

What can hold you back from working smarter is often times the risk of integrating better tools that, although promise improvements, run the risk of throwing off your whole process through its implementation. Thus, many people’s desire to work smarter is often thwarted by the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” policy. This may be particularly true for many organizations when it comes to improving their budgeting, planning, and forecasting processes, where the fear of a complex, risky data integration project holds you back and leaves you tied to your current, spreadsheet-based models. With the Bizview interface for JD Edwards, complications that arise from these “improvements” have been solved, so your planning, budgeting, and forecasting processe improvements are just that, improvements.

Why Bizview

Bizview was created as a way to add flexibility and accuracy to your process and avoid long planning cycles, multiple local copies of planning documents, and decreased data accuracy, leading to increased costs and missing revenue targets. It also fixes a growing organization’s fragmented and siloed planning data and helps teams move past their old, limiting spreadsheet-based planning processes to find those missed opportunities for strategic growth.

Working smart is the driving force behind the new Bizview JDE Interface. Bizview, a fast, scalable cloud planning solution, allows you to be in control of your planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes. Bizview leverages insighsoftware’s ERPsmarts and deep JDE knowledge, and the JDE Interface maps the data into Bizview, saving you time, reducing complexity, and de-risking the integration process. And once you’re connected, Bizview’s Starter Packs and prebuilt templates and reports let you hit the ground running.

Used by London Internet Exchange, OSM Maritime Group and other companies across a range of industries, Bizview is a web-based enterprise performance management (EPM) system that supports companies in adopting a robust, integrated and complete budgeting, planning, and forecasting process. With a spreadsheet-like interface and support for Excel formulas, the software provides growing organizations looking to scale their business with a simplified, user-friendly experience to create thorough and accurate financial and operational plans.

Strong, Simplified Connection

Still, desire for tangible process improvements can still lead to apprehension around implementation. Yes, Bizview can deliver planning and budgeting process benefits, but where is the risk? What processes will break down or will you have to put on hold? How will the organization respond to change? These are often questions you’ll ask before upgrading your systems and software as upgrades are meant to help, not hinder.

For this reason, it is important to note that to benefit from a planning and budgeting solution such as Bizview with JD Edwards there are a few factors to consider.
