WELCOME

Welcome to

Corporate Planning

Your success is our incentive

Over 130 employees at 12 locations aroundEurope are supporting you so that you can steer your business to success.

Since 1989, we have been one of the pioneers in the

development of corporate performance management

software. The challenge of translating complex business

administration expertise into a software solution with an

intuitive approach is one that we take up every day with

a passion. Our solutions have long ceased to be purely

management accounting applications. Today, the CP

software is deployed interdepartmentally for business

planning and management. This keeps our customers

supplied with all the information they need to make the

right decisions for their business.

The world is changing in this digital age. Our objective is to

find the right solution for every user – be it installed locally

or in the Corporate Planning Cloud, be it accessed from a

desktop or by means of innovative mobile applications.

Together we'll make your business flourish.

Let us introduce ourselves.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE

Businesses are like living organisms. They must

constantly change – in size, shape and appearance. To

do so they need sound structures that can adapt while

also forming a sturdy backbone. The fundamental

purpose and objectives of a business are like the roots

and trunk of a stout tree. Internal business processes

are like branches. They grow with time. They branch out

and give the business momentum. This is why Corporate

Planning has modelled itself on the natural world,

developing its software according to the architecture of

the tree.

The CP tree – a structure

rooted in experience

Ever since its first version,

we have been developing our

software in a tree structure.

That's why we like talking

about our "CP tree" so much.

The tree has been the central

element in all our solutions to

this day.

Modelled on nature

We have been following the principle of the natural world

for nearly thirty years. With our software in the architecture

of the tree, we strengthen businesses on an ongoing basis

and get them ready for future challenges. Give us a call and

we'll show you how much certainty our solution can bring to

your business. Let us discover how you can use our flexibility

to add new momentum to your business management and

make better decisions.

Trees instead of tables

Our solutions for business management arrange your

data into a hierarchy. This is how the human brain thinks:

starting from one point, our thoughts branch out into ever

greater detail – which is also precisely how trees grow.

That's why we do not depict business interrelationships

in cubes but instead in the architecture of trees.

Thank s to this approach, anyone can use our

software and understand where the results come from.

Every tree

has its origin

in its roots.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE

Our software is entirely made in Germany – and we are

proud of it. We create one hundred per cent of our own

solutions with a permanent team of software engineers

who work together at our headquarters in Hamburg.

Our Development team works closely with our experts

from Consulting, who, for their part, bring along their

business administration expertise and their experience

in the field. Thanks to agile programming methods,

this results in exceptionally innovative and

user-friendly solutions.

Software for business management

At the time our company was founded in 1989, there were

just a handful of employees. From what was a typical start-

up, we have developed at an economically sound rate into a

medium-sized enterprise. Today we are one of the leading

vendors of business intelligence software and have a

broad, fully integrated portfolio of solutions for all fields of

specialisation within operational and strategic management,

integrated financial planning and consolidation.

Tradition and innovation

With over 130 employees and a strong network of partners,

we look after our customers. Our sustained growth until

now is due to the fact that we are constantly developing our

established products while also incorporating innovative

ideas. Over the years we have collected many awards

including the IT Innovation Prize from Initiative Mittelstand,

the Seal of Quality for Software Made in Germany, and the

Top Innovator award from the German TOP 100 project.

An international partner network

We want you to receive the best consulting in all aspects

of our solutions and to get the most out of them for your

own specific requirements, which is why we cooperate with

more than fifty partner companies around the world. In this

way, not only can we guarantee you locally-based support,

but our partners also have in-depth industry knowledge and

are expert in particular use cases. We have been expanding

this network continuously and successfully for many years.

Customers from every industry

With our corporate performance management solu-

tions, we support small and medium sized enterprises.

Our customers come from every conceivable industry

sector, for instance, health and social care, transport and

logistics, and the automotive trade. They work in banking

and in insurance companies, in IT, in real estate, in the service

industry, in commerce and in manufacturing. Our customers

are scattered all over the world.

Our location

right at the heart of the

Port of Hamburg

for comprehensive

business management

Our solutions run on a common technological platform.

Within this system, each piece of information occurs

only once and at just one storage location. The figures

in the operational plan are immediately ready for the

integrated financial plan, and the data from financials,

in turn, go straight into the consolidated financial

statement.

One platform – many solutions

The technological framework for our solutions is the Corpo-

rate Planner Suite. This contains solutions for all areas of

corporate performance management and consolidation. It

forms the basis for comprehensive business management.

Within the system, each piece of information occurs only

once. This principle of the single point of truth guarantees

transparency and traceability for each and every value –

even back to the original voucher if desired.

Designed for flexibility

Each solution is ready to use and fully scalable. Together

we can assemble an individual complete package, which

consists only of the solutions that you actually need, while

also bearing in mind your specific requirements, the size

of your company, your industry, and even the working

habits of your employees. As your company evolves and

your requirements increase, your solution will simply

grow to fit.

Free choice of provisioning

Cloud or on-premise? Buy or rent? Whether you prefer

working in the cloud or storing your data on your own

servers, the provisioning and use of our software is

determined entirely by your needs. Take advantage of

the different ways of accessing our software by using a

desk top computer, our web cl ient , personalised

management dashboards or the Microsoft Excel interface –

just as you wish.

An extremely safe investment

We are constantly developing our solutions and supplying

regular updates. With more than 100 interfaces to other

software systems, we guarantee that you will always

have all the relevant data for your work at your fingertips.

Data from financials and cost accounting, for instance,

are included automatically. Never again will you waste

your time on complicated and error-prone manual

data imports from pre-systems.

Each solution is ready to use and fully scalable.

Together we can assemble an individual complete package which

consists only of the solutions that you need for your work.

We provide you with support from the roll-out of your solu-

tion through to coaching on your premises. Our consultants

act as your advisors, mentors and sparring partners. We

support individuals, teams and entire departments in your

company. All our consultants have a background in business

administration and have gained practical experience in many

projects. On request we will put together a made-to-measure

package consisting of consulting and advanced training.

In our software training courses, we combine practical busi-

ness administration skills with the use of our solutions. In the

one or two-day training sessions you will learn how to get

the most out of our software for your company. Our special

Train & Coach options allow you to follow up your training

directly with individual consulting. Our training programme is

growing all the time, so you will always find a suitable course
