IDU-Concept vs. Solver

Income Statements per cost centre (actual vs budget) that has been mapped to meet my business requirements. The ability to drill-down to the GL level in each cost centre when reviewing Income Statements. The ability to group Income Statements per region for ease of reporting. The Budget module that offers flexibility and automatic calculations based on inputs make budgeting easier.

We have multiple departments where they use different sources and application to reports. Solver provided us with this solution in forms of Web portal reporting, which can be accessed across the Whole company, which reduces the number of reports significantly and uniformity. One reporting application through a single source. Our budgeting process is unique last year we had many account executives shuffled, which made very complex for us to reassign accounts and budget for their sales. with complex Budgeting templates, it was not easy anyway. We had to rework our template through 4 revisions

The reason for my rating is mainly due to the fact that the super user administering the layout, mapping, groupings, period control and period displayed (actual vs budget) needs to be fairly certain of what they are doing in order to make the changes in the admin module. They also need to be confident of the effect of the changes made to display correctly on the client module. Regarding usability on the client module, its very easy to use and understand once you play around the layouts etc.

We have not used or evaluated any alternative products. We have been using IDU for over 10 years and have not been in the market for alternatives.

Since more employees other than accounting employees will be using BI360, it is more user friendly than other report builders.
