Tough implementation and immediate aftermath. Abacum support and academy require a higher level of base knowledge than we had. We should have used a 3rd party to do the implementation rather than trying and struggling to do it ourselves.

Chief Financial Officer

We implemented Abacum for financial and business intelligence reporting, consolidating multiple data sources into a single dashboard.  Our use case was particularly complex.  Abacum handled this with ease.

The ROI was nearly immediate.  We significantly reduced our close time, and within minutes of closing the books, we publish customized reports for stakeholders at every level of the organization - without them needing to come back to finance for additional cuts of the data.

The platform surfaced data inconsistencies we hadn't caught before, which our Abacum implementation team helped us resolve, ensuring more accurate reporting going forward.

There was a learning curve, but the implementation team was excellent.  Over roughly eight weeks, they helped us get fully comfortable building models and spaces on our own.  By the time implementation wrapped, we were completely self-sufficient.  That level of support made a real difference.
