IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW • Needs analysis • Time and cost estimate • Project plan • Implementation & Training • Post implementation support
vs. MR/FRx • Everything that FRx/MR does for Financial Statements, plus: • Use of all fields (such as Account Category) in the GL in reports • Dynamic rows/columns (e.g. an account range can produce many rows in a P&L) = faster report design and less maintenance • Much better formatting (because it is Excel-based) • But in addition you get much more: • Web, mobile and Excel interface for end users • Ad-hoc reporting • Full BI suite (one integrated solution with budgeting, dashboard, collaboration and DW) • Report on sub-ledgers • Cell-level control (FRx/MR requires either a row or a column to “win”)

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY “The most notable benefit would be streamlining [our] internal processes…Prior analysis required hours, oftentimes days of work, and didn’t include all the pieces we’re able to include through the use of BI360.” - Phil Thibodeau, Financial Services Manager at Pine State Trading Co. “All data entry takes place in Excel (or the Web portal)… There is only one single template per model instead of the numerous hardcoded spreadsheets that companies are used to from a manual Excel process” – Marcus Langell, BI Consultant at DecidoKompetensor “We no longer need an army of IT professionals to get the data out of our system we should have had access to in the first place. I’ve spent millions on Oracle systems that required a team of technical experts to operate. Now (with BI360), I can do it all myself – saving us time and money.” - Michael Eason, CFO at Association of Fundraising Professionals
