M. Jürgensen GmbH & Co KG, Sörup
"Over the past ten years, as a result of the necessity for a transparent presentation of all relevant company figures - ranging from sales management, purchase management, personnel analyses and staff planning to the display and analysis of the actual and budgeted P&L and balance sheet - CORPORATE PLANNER has developed as the principal tool in the whole company. The clear structures of the program motivate our staff not just to limit their activities to data input, but to take the initiative of preparing numerous analyses according to individual requirements, before the aggregated information from each department is forwarded as an authoritative plan to central management.
CORPORATE PLANNER is, for us, an essential platform for managing our business processes in a field of work which is constantly and ever more rapidly changing."

FIAT Automobil Vertriebs GmbH, Frankfurt/Main
"Due to the fact that the business figures in the FIAT group have been becoming more and more transparent, we decided in 2006 to implement CORPORATE PLANNER as our main tool for budgeting, analysis and reporting. Despite the highly complex structures which exist in our company, we are now in a position to depict clearly both the internal and the external management accounting. As we have also integrated the display of our plan through Microsoft Excel, the combination of CORPORATE PLANNER, the pre-system Simultan and MS Excel provides us with an excellent tool kit."

Carl Leipold Verwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG., Wolfach
"Our decision to use CORPORATE PLANNER has put us in the position where all of the company data from various pre-systems are planned in just one system, analyses are made, simulations carried out and the information gained from this is linked to management key ratios.
With CORPORATE PLANNER, we have been able to increase the transparency of our company considerably, which has resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of our internal and external reporting."

Norderstedt City Council
"In the past, there was always a considerable delay before we were able to interpret our financial data. With CORPORATE PLANNER, we can now present large amounts of data in the manner required by the management of a city council in next to no time at all. By using the "Boss Box" function, I can automatically call up specially configured reports with figures which are always up to date, on which I can rely when making financial strategy decisions.
In the future, we are planning to integrate the key performance indicators of our shareholdings into the system, which will enable us to keep constant track of how the financial affairs of the city council as a whole are progressing. "

Seligenstadt City Council
"In a modern city council in touch with its citizens, providing clearly-presented information straight away is of vital importance. By using CORPORATE PLANNER, we can display our entire budget and have the sometimes complex sets of data ready at short notice. We have come to appreciate the presence of CORPORATE PLANNER as a versatile companion at our budget meetings, as we can display several data streams such as plan estimates and target/actual values – each for different financial years. Due to this structure, our masses of data are now much better organised. Time-consuming data queries are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. The wide range of analysis functions and their graphic output are ideal for making in-depth evaluations, and are also a great help for the council to plan investments efficiently. What convinced me the most, however, was the simple handling of the software which adds to the motivation of my staff, since it really does make their day-to-day work easier. As far as the changeover from the old fiscal accounting system to double-entry bookkeeping is concerned, we are absolutely ready to go and we are relying on CORPORATE PLANNER."

Bergische Diakonie Aprath
"When we began using CORPORATE PLANNER in our enterprise in 1994, our controlling was based entirely on Excel. We had therefore been looking for a software product which combined the advantages of Excel, such as the high degree of flexibility and user-friendliness, with the reliability of a structured specialist program. In the years in which CORPORATE PLANNER has been in use at our company, it has been demonstrated on many occasions that the logical design of the program has made a significant contribution towards simplifying, and thus speeding up, the process of familiarising new employees with the program's system and also with the complex interrelationships of our controlling, which has in turn led to significant cost reductions."

Klassik Radio AG
"As a public limited company oriented towards the stock exchange, the prompt and company-wide processing of financial data is of vital importance. Data compression and attention to detail at the same time are an absolute must. What convinced us was the presentation of actual data according to our individual company requirements, as well as the spectrum of management analysis options provided by CORPORATE PLANNER.
The flexible structure of the software enables us to display even complex company interrelationships and consolidation mechanisms."

"For the last four years we have been using CORPORATE PLANNER in our controlling activities. Over this period we have been able to register a marked improvement in our planning, our reports and in the analysis of our figures. Especially with rapidly mounting cost pressure, we need reliable analyses in good time. The flexibility of CORPORATE PLANNER allows us to make our decisions quickly and systematically!"

Schnellecke Group
"Speed, efficiency and reliability - that's what we expect from our controlling software. For this reason, the Schnellecke Group has implemented CORPORATE PLANNER for enterprise planning worldwide. At our Controlling Centre in Wolfsburg we use a ten-year version with a flexible time axis. This means we can display time lines which cover several financial years. The individually definable data streams have also turned out to be extremely useful: actual accounts data in the form of trial balances and open items lists from our DATEV accounting system are read in and compared with our plan and forecast figures. Variances can be identified by a drill-down method, and appropriate measures can then be taken."

Stadtwerke Wolfsburg AG
"These days, it is particularly important that directors and executive management are provided with up-to-date information electronically for decisions to be made. This requires clearly designed and efficient software. For our group of companies, we have found the solution in CORPORATE PLANNER. With this, we are able to display the day-to-day changes in our complex sets of figures for all decision-makers quickly, convincingly and in a transparent manner. In our company we are permanently adjusting the software to suit our needs, and consequently our risk management is now also covered by CP software, and for the development and communication of our strategic orientation we have recently introduced the balanced scorecard system CP-BSC."
