Turn Strategy into Collaborative, Accountable Action

CONTROL® relieves the headaches associated with traditional spreadsheet budgeting and goes beyond the limited capabilities of conventional budgeting software and decision support tools. It provides:

On top of this, CONTROL provides the friendliness for ordinary business users to deploy, maintain, adapt and extend applications on their own.

Based in a familiar Excel environment, CONTROL enables organizations to move beyond the mechanics of business performance management, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, sound decision-making and responsiveness.

Under CONTROL's one-stop paradigm, budgeting has never been easier or more efficient. With CONTROL you have complete freedom to budget and forecast at any level of your chart of accounts, complete freedom to employ whatever methodology, global assumptions and driver statistics you need and complete freedom in layout. You can build your budget up from the lowest levels of detail, or you could use CONTROL's Solve feature to budget from the top-down with Actuals as a baseline and to spread the total back across its children on a pro-rata basis. Alternatively, you can use CONTROL's Data Transformation Wizard to spread values using historical profiles, curves, drivers and patterns and make mass changes across selected groups of items or all items. You can include unlimited commentaries, and create unlimited iterations in order to compare and review results before making a decision. You have complete flexibility to do any type of analysis from time-related to performance analysis and infinite "what if" capabilities.

Enter a budget value at any level in your model and it is instantly posted, calculating all measures and aggregating the summaries. Changes automatically ripple through other appropriate logical and functional views in real time. There is no need to re-key data, use "stale" imported information or waste time extracting, synchronizing or integrating data from operational systems.

CONTROL ships with a pre-built application called JumpStart, that addresses salary planning by employee (including all associated calculations), capital budgeting, revenue planning and operating expenses together with fully integrated financial statements including Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow. Organizations can easily modify any part of JumpStart or build entirely new models as needed to meet specific requirements.

Best of all, CONTROL is easy to learn and implement. If you know how to use Excel you are already well on your way toward mastering CONTROL. Once you understand how to use CONTROL, you don't need to rely on IT or contract programmers or have to worry about where data is located, how to keep it in sync among disparate processes or how to consolidate it. As a matter of fact, you never need to go elsewhere to handle any of your intrinsically intertwined performance management needs.
