Lueg AG Goes In the Right Direction With Professional Planner

June 22, 2005 -- The LUEG group persistently pursues a multiple brand strategy in regional markets and monitors the value enhancements through the successful long-term development of the different business segments. The continuous profit orientation is a decisive characteristic in this respect.

The LUEG group deploys a controlling system that supports managing the business development and at the same time provides early indicators for the development of profit and financial situation. Claudia Karmineke, Head of Controlling at Lueg AG declares: "Our current tools are no longer suitable to support optimizing the planning process for creating annual business plans and multiple year plans as well as forecasts for periods of less than a year. The synchronization effort is far too time-consuming and our flexibility is limited. Our aims to integrate the detailed plans for profit, financial and balance sheet planning and consolidation cannot be met. For this reason, we opted for Professional Planner. This software platform supports us in creating effective and efficient plans and provides absolute flexibility for simulations and scenarios. The integration of profit, financial and balance sheet planning optimizes the quality of our data and enables to take counter-measures in real-time on the basis of potential opportunities and risks."

Results in real-time
Professional Planner, the software platform for business planning, reporting, analyses and consolidation is based upon the advancement of OLAP and hence provides a unique technology. This new technology - OLCAP (Online Calculating and Analytical Processing) - for the first time facilitates multidimensional calculations supporting your planning process and providing real-time simulations.

"With Professional Planner we are able to create recipient-oriented analyses in real-time and also to display them graphically. The comprehensive key figure systems and reportings are an additional help. This way we can meet our objective: more transparency and enhancing our efficiency in planning and reporting", states Claudia Karmineke.
