Speakers at the Planful Virtual Tour will share knowledge on how to navigate the current global environment with the necessary tools to drive planning cycles with greater accuracy, speed, and confidence. Featured customer speaker Tim Zue, CFO of The Boston Red Sox, will discuss how the club has modernized the FP&A process and how his team is managing a curtailed baseball season. “Planful has been incredibly helpful to our finance team by enabling more robust reporting and simplifying the forecasting and close processes,” said Zue. “We’re able to provide profit and loss statements to the owners on a monthly basis now instead of quarterly. The platform has created greater transparency and better access to data across the organization. We’re currently using the platform to game out ‘what-if’ scenarios to manage the impact of COVID-19.”
During the keynote address on May 19, Principal and Founder of Constellation Research R “Ray” Wang will explore business continuity best practices and the importance of cloud and Continuous Planning, especially in an increasingly unpredictable world. CEO of Planful, Grant Halloran, will present the company’s Continuous Planning vision for how Planful can help attendees improve speed, collaboration, and decision-making capabilities in their role as finance professionals and across their organizations.
