In a recent blog post I discussed how nearly 90 percent of companies are still using spreadsheets and outdated technology for financial planning, budgeting and forecasting, which exposes them to unnecessary risks. Fortunately, as more and more technology solutions are being pushed to the cloud, finance departments and CFOs can elevate their budgeting and forecasting procedures to the cloud as well, breaking free 
from their reliance on spreadsheets and other outdated processes.
I had the opportunity to share my perspectives on the modernization of budgeting, forecasting and planning on a recent webinar – Rapidly Deploy Budgeting and Forecasting with Oracle and Perficient.
During this webinar, I presented alongside Gordon Hofman, vice president of finance for SSA Marine, Brian Shepard, solution architect for Perficient, and Jennifer Toomey, senior product marketing director from Oracle. We had a great discussion on how companies of all sizes can now deploy Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) to the cloud in just eight weeks. We demonstrated how PBCS can save valuable time and resources, and when combined with Perficient’s Fast Forward for Planning solution, a company’s planning solution is quickly developed and deployed on the Oracle Cloud with less risk and a lower cost than traditional implementations.
