Imagine the ease of use of spreadsheets with the performance of a relational database. Budgeting has never been this simple or this complete. In what may be the best news for financial managers considering a new budgeting and planning solution, this solution costs far less than the typical Windows forms application or web-based tool, and can be implemented in far less time - typically a few weeks or months instead of months and years.

The HCGPrevision™ budgeting system is extremely flexible. With HCGPrevision™, budgets conform to the business practices of the company, rather than the business having to conform to the budgeting system. With HCGPrevision™, budgets can based not only on financial numbers and history, but also by non-financial drivers including statistics and other key indicators. In fact, HCGPrevision™ is not limited to budgeting financial data - the application is capable of creating budgets for any kind of data a business needs to track, even things like parts, machinery, or activities.
