Send us Fan MailSelecting a modern FP&A platform is no longer simply a budgeting or reporting decision—it is a strategic architecture choice that shapes how finance organizations operate, collaborate, and scale. Today’s FP&A and broader CPM/EPM platforms directly influence forecasting speed, executive visibility, scenario modeling, data governance, and cross-functional decision-making across the enterprise. As a result, finance leaders must evaluate far more than dashboards and planning features alone. They must assess the underlying data architecture, integration depth with ERP and operational systems, scalability across business units, workflow flexibility, and the platform’s alignment with the organization’s long-term operating model. In many cases, the wrong architectural decision creates fragmented planning processes, inconsistent metrics, and governance challenges that limit finance’s ability to function as a strategic business partner.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading FP&A platform Aleph.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/aleph-an-independent-in-depth-review/Questions for Panelists?🔗Sam Gupta: linkedin.com/in/samguptausa/🔗Phil Coerper: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philcoerper09/🔗Andy Pratico: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-pratico-80175410/🔗Shrestha Dash: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shrestha-dash-662b00204/Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.
