Blending financial planning directly into existing business intelligence (BI) platforms like Microsoft Power BI and Qlik are on the rise. But have you questioned why, and what drives this shift? 

In this episode of the Don’t Panic It’s Just Data podcast, Kevin Petrie, BARC analyst, sits down to chat with Thomas Gorr, Director of Product Management for xP&A and BI at insightsoftware, and Henri Rufin, Head of Responsible Data & Analytics at Radiall.

The speakers stress how the integration of financial planning in BI platforms is driven by the need to move beyond traditional Excel-based planning. This is because it often leads to data silos and errors. 

Gorr and Rufin explain how separating your financial data makes less sense, and why traditional tools like Excel are no longer significant.

Watch this podcast to discover how embedding planning capabilities within BI platforms, such as Qlik and Power BI, offer a seamless experience, greater flexibility, and real-time collaboration.
