Organisation Planning

As business environments become more cost constrained, complex and volatile, Financial Forecasting is becoming more than just an important part of project management, it is truly a survival competence. Significant deviation from a large Budget can threaten the very survival of the entire enterprise.

This means that the integrity of financial information used to manage projects must equal that used to manage the company’s business as usual operations. Not only that, but these two ‘parallel worlds’ must become one. The reality of much of today’s business is that it is the project world where most of the business gets done, where most of the change happens and where most of the risks are. Yet it is astonishing how loose the relationship is between this world and the core financial management of most enterprises.

Atlantic Global’s customers have prioritised the need to improve the Financial & Resource Forecasting process. Closer integration to the Atlantic Global Project Portfolio Management solution and to the core Financial Systems is key to providing the integrity of information required for the Managing Director’s of Business Units.

Operational Plan Management

The Atlantic Global Organisation Planning software enables you to easily generate your operational plans throughout your organisational hierarchy. Planned Headcount and Expenditure can be used to accurately produce a financial forecast or budget. With seamless integration to the Project Portfolio Management software operational plans can be compared to project budgets to analyse the overall financial and resource capability of the organisation.

Organisational Budgeting

Operational Plans in the Atlantic Global Solution can be rolled up through the organisational hierarchy to produce your organisational budgets. Alternatively, budgets can be manually input or imported from the organisations finance system. Operational Plans and Project Budgets can then be compared to your Organisational Budgets in order to analyse the financial capability of the organisation.

Headcount Analysis

The Atlantic Global Organisation Planning solution enables you to plan your headcount throughout the organisation. This enables you to accurately analyse the impact of changes in headcount on your operational plans, project delivery and resource capability.

People in Post

The Atlantic Global Organisation Planning solution enables you to compare the Planned Headcount from within your operational plans to your People in Post. This enables you to identify resource shortfalls or to analyse the impact of reducing your resource headcount.

Financial Analysis

By combining the project and organisational worlds the Atlantic Global Organisation Planning module enables organisations to understand their financial glide path in real time. Through close integration with the Finance System, organisations can understand their current financial position and analyse the financial glide path by analysing the impact of the financial forecast from the Organisation Planning solution.
