Business problems that led to evaluating CPM, adopting Prophix:
Budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and data consolidations.
Personnel planning was a serious pain point, as their manual process was not able to capture their true requirements to plan/budget for employees in multiple countries, multiple office locations, and in multiple currencies (with their varying/fluctuating exchange rates).
They were very impressed with DPM.

2. Argus – Prophix partner story
Benefits:
Time savings
No more dependence on spreadsheets
Will be able to budget for multiple locations/countries, and factoring in the value of multiple currencies
Strategic (long-range) forecasting will be possible, primarily around revenue planning and personnel costs (see prior business problems)
They were conducting revenue planning using spreadsheets. Could only do so factoring in services. Can now conduct revenue planning by clients *and* by services
This gives them more detail, greater insight into performance, and allows them to direct their resources to the appropriate customers and services for greater profitability
CapEx: will calculate depreciation for laptops, servers, furniture, etc. for more accurate budgeting
