255 Board Testimonials

"BOARD allows us to consolidate in a split second! Yes, consolidation can happen with a single button! Yes, consolidation can happen for 48 manufacturing plants and for 85 warehouses! At the beginning I was very skeptical, but I can guarantee you that it works.”

"The BOARD toolkit puts the solution in the end-users hands, taking the pressure away from other departments. The more I discover about the toolkit the more I realize I am on a learning curve."

“We selected BOARD because, together with its flexibility, it gives us a new approach. For us, this challenging journey wasn’t a mere project. Rather, it was a program, a new path towards an end-to-end budgeting, planning, and forecasting process."

“One of the key reasons for choosing BOARD was the fact that the platform can change with the organisation relatively easily and without incurring a lot of cost.”

“Specifically, we wanted a solution that could grow and be quite flexible for us. We don’t do just one element of aged care. We operate in quite diverse areas. We went into this change with a very open mind in that we didn’t want to simply replicate what we had. We wanted to find the best way of budgeting and forecasting.”

"The LAITA team is delighted to be using BOARD for various applications and finds it particularly well suited to its management accounting because it allows both simulation and budget processing. The Business and Decision-making integrator effectively complements the customer’s experts appointed to make a success of this strategic project with us."

"The implementation process for users is straightforward. After the initial training, we found it to be easy hands-on learning, particularly for the core, day-to-day user who is not directly maintaining the databases or the data relationships."

“One major aspect of the BOARD Platform that the City found most attractive was the fact that it was purchasing a development platform, not just a single application. The configurability, ease of screen design, and opportunities for further application development were also attractive. Finally, the price for the environment was within our budget for such a purchase.”

“With Board, we are able leverage its analytic and reporting functionality to effectively monitor performance and make key business decisions.”

“We are very happy with BOARD as a planning tool, it has changed the way we work and made a huge positive impact.”

"The monthly Executive and Operational report packs which used to take weeks to manually collate are now produced in PowerPoint using BOARD’s Microsoft Office plug-in, meaning a single click refreshes the entire dataset."

“The implementation of BOARD has helped me sleep at night. I no longer have to worry about producing a forecast or issues around disconnects between volume and spend. We understand the performance drivers. It’s made a big difference.”

“We’ve got to the point now where we can probably complete our month end reporting process and understand performance within about two or three days, where as previously it took probably eight. Even then we were never sure we really got to the right answer, so it’s made a big difference.”

“Probably the biggest benefit for us is that BOARD helps us plan better with our customers. Every year we go through joint business plan negotiations and several times a year those plans can be tweaked and renegotiated between us and our customers. What’s really useful about this system is that we can produce scenario models, so we can make changes to promotions, distribution or investment and see a live view of what profit number that throws out at the end. On a personal basis it’s allowed me to make better, more informed decisions and has given me more time to try and add a more commercial spin to the new product development process.”

“The overview guaranteed by BOARD for all of the positions that are applied for, that are awaiting approval and approved is worth its weight in gold! Not only has it improved how we structure the position approval process – our requirement of working as sustainably as possible has also been optimally fulfilled by the paperless workflow.”
