In today's challenging macro climate, the pressure to balance financial objectives with operational realities has never been greater. However, many organizations suffer from a lack of alignment between their finance, product management and supply chain professionals which leads to sub-optimal performance and reduced profitability.

Connecting the disparate parts of the enterprise and delivering real-time supply chain visibility to operational and financial information is the key to creating an integrated business where financial imperative is reconciled with operational capability to improve cash-to-cash cycles while maintaining customer service levels.

So how do you do it and what is best in class?

In its latest research on the topic, Aberdeen Group has surveyed 129 enterprises to identify the critical factors behind successful Integrated Business Planning (IBP).

By attending this webcast you will learn how to:

  • Balance financial needs with operational imperatives to create a truly integrated business approach
  • Develop an optimized inventory management strategy that frees working capital while maintaining service levels
  • Create a holistic approach to revenue and cost that supports strategic decision making and moves away from a siloed process
