How does Unit4 FP&A rank among other vendors in BPM’s Vendor Landscape Matrix?
BPM Partners have created a useful Vendor Landscape Matrix (VLM) report that analyzes vendors who offer key planning capabilities such as workforce planning, sales planning, demand planning, and ESG planning and reporting – such as Unit4’s Cloud-based Financial Planning and Analysis software.
The report is based not just on planning capabilities and vendor offerings, but also on customer satisfaction ratings and reviews each vendor receives.
BPM’s VLM report provides a useful way for those investing in FP&A systems to evaluate vendors. Craig Schiff, CEO and President, suggests, “Regardless of your industry, company size, or location, you will be able to find several excellent choices on this list for you to evaluate.”
