Planning, forecasting, reporting and analysis are core business activities served by analytics technology. Many companies are busily re-doing plans and forecasts in response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, to figure out how to stay in business (when demand has plummeted) or how to maximize capacity (when demand has sky-rocketed). At the frontlines of all these efforts are financial analysts working in the corporate finance, treasury and operational planning functions. If they do a good job, better decisions are made, a company survives, jobs are saved, and the economic recovery is hastened.
This is extremely important work that is poorly understood, and little appreciated, by those who don’t do it for a living. Especially poorly understood is the qualitative value of giving financial analysts the right tools to manage data, build models, collaborate and share information. Companies that understand this are flying supersonic jets in comparison with companies that don’t, which are doing the equivalent of riding bicycles.
In this week’s episode we explain the critically important contribution of financial analysts, and point out a huge, neglected business opportunity!
