A Rapid Implementation of Driver-Based Rolling Forecasts with Hyperion Planning
Exelixis, a biopharmaceutical company producing cancer drugs, implemented Hyperion Planning with rolling forecasting on a rapid schedule. This presentation describes the implementation of a driver-based 18 month rolling forecast of revenues, expenses, Workforce Planning, custom capital asset planning and Planning’s workflow management. The solution delivered a dynamic comparison view of current and prior forecasts for the 15 month overlaps. This unique view allows corporate managers to easily see economic performance and understand if the result is diverging from or converging towards strategic targets.
