"We rely on TM1 strategic planning software for a number of deliverables. With TM1, we've reduced an almost six-month annual planning
process to a six-week process. Financial data that previously took weeks to reconcile can now be managed in less than one day.
Perhaps most significantly, the TM1 system has enabled us to more accurately plan and predict, significantly reducing the variance
between budget and actual performance."
— James F. Kneece, GTC BioTherapeutics

Therefore,we are able to identify how special budget changes may affect each business area and whether these targets are realistic."
