Make decisions with the future in mind.

Compare "what-if" scenarios

One of the most powerful features of 5Cast is its capability to run and view results of different financial scenarios, side-by-side, in a single table or report.  Scenario modeling is somewhat complex, but 5Cast allows you to break down the process of creating, running and comparing results with saved assumption layouts, custom queries, and comparative report templates.  Recognizing results of scenario assumptions with comparative measurements, including Actuals, Cumulative, and Year-Over-Year, present a powerful projection picture for decision-makers.

Develop a multiyear budget plan

The process of effectively communicating and executing a multiyear budget projection plan is essential for improved financial vision and decision-making support for every administrative and policy making level of governance.  With 5Cast, the ability to strategically incorporate assumptions and variables to future revenues and expenses, at any level of granularity, are crucial for gaining insight and understanding to the impact of potential variances in key assumptions, and communicating results with comprehensive reporting options.

Simulate compensation and bargaining impact

Linking your 5-year financial forecast to the negotiations process is essential for advancing overall programmatic initiatives, achieving key economic agreement terms for salaries and benefits, while faced with ongoing restricted revenues.  5Cast can effectively be utilized for collective bargaining and negotiations planning and scenario development; cost out summaries based on various proposals; data shaping of scenario results; and custom groupings of account detail bound to related bargained line items for cost analysis.
