Unlike spreadsheets, the management of BOARD’s multi-dimensional planning system makes it possible to introduce workflow, security, audit trail and versioning mechanisms. This enhances the control and efficiency of the entire process.
Advanced tools and functions of What-if analysis and Goal Seeking are combined with the possibility of creating and managing scenarios, allowing multi-dimensional simulations in which the impact of future events is automatically spread to every level of data aggregation, from the broadest outline (e.g. Sales by Division) to the lowest level of detail (Item Code).
Thanks to a wide selection of cockpits, maps, tables and other data-aware objects, BOARD software users can easily create and manage customized dashboards. These dashboards representations provide a visual overview of corporate performance and of the main trends and factors affecting it . Latest-generation graphic animations and containers such as thumbnails, carousels and tab screens ensure that key data are represented with ground-breaking clarity. Native drill-down and drill-through functions enable users to examine the information down to the lowest level of detail, for immediate and in-depth analyses.
BOARD provides a complete Visual Modeling environment to create sophisticated models for the allocation of costs and earnings, generating detailed views of company profitability and optimizing pricing, product inventory, bundling and commercial policies.
Thanks to the multi-dimensional logic, costs and earnings can be calculated to the lowest level of detail and automatically distributed by aggregation to different objects, allowing immediate association of several analysis perspectives (e.g. highlighting product earnings in relation to a specific customer).
In this way, in addition to the traditional marginality by customer and product, BOARD makes it possible to calculate profitability at various levels of hierarchy and drill-up and drill-down to aggregate and disaggregate data for each analytical or reporting dimension.
The multi-dimensional “what-if” and “goal seeking” capabilities make it possible to test hypothetical scenarios to verify the potential impact of future events or new business strategies, providing a powerful tool for simulating and optimizing corporate profitability.
In addition to offering multidimensional and simulation capabilities, BOARD stands out from conventional cost controlling solutions for its ability to integrate margin analysis with the processes of Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting, providing control of the future economic performance of the entire organization.
BOARD enables users to quickly create any kind of corporate report, from simple spreadsheets to multiple-page graphic booklets, simply by positioning and configuring data aware objects on the screen, with no need for any programming.

IAS, IFRS, Basel II, and Sarbanes-Oxley are just some of the better-known examples of the increasing burden of regulatory compliance.
In every sector, organizations are under pressure to satisfy new laws and regulations. Not only are there more rules; the rules are stricter and the penalties for failing to comply are more severe. On the other hand, organizations often have a fragmented approach to performance management that makes it difficult to combine financial and non-financial data in a unified and consistent manner.
The challenge is to implement a comprehensive CPM approach which would bring together various performance management and regulatory initiatives, providing a single version of the truth at all management levels for all types of information.
Board offers the structure required to comprehend the full scope of the compliance challenge. With BOARD, everything is there to create the proper controls for basic information processing and production, as well as more complex controls to aggregate and integrate crucial information. All these capabilities are available through a single and integrated framework. Thanks to its unique all-in-one environment, BOARD statutory financial reporting software makes possible a broad CPM approach to improving governance and performance management possible, while at the same time addressing compliance requirements.
BOARD helps organizations to manage the process of strategy formulation, to translate it into practical action and to monitor execution.

The software solution integration of BI and PM makes it possible to align reporting and budgeting processes with strategic objectives, and to promptly monitor results and impact on performance.
This is the most frustrating company I have ever dealt with. Example: website goes down all the time, or has features stop working and they want to charge you by the hour to fix things that break. This is on top of paying $1,700/ month for their hosting and a $100,000 implementation fee. Go Else-ware, there can’t be another website company that has customer service as bad as Website Pipeline / Cimcloud
integration into sage 100
customer service, lack of ability to fix/maintain a working ecommerce website.
Board allows us to consolidate in a split second! Yes, consolidation can happen with a single button! Yes, consolidation can happen for 48 manufacturing plants and for 85 warehouses! At the beginning I was very skeptical, but I can guarantee you that it works!
