Case Study: Telegraph Media Group achieves unified budgeting, faster forecasting and better decision-making with Board

Unified Budgeting, Planning, and Forecasting at Telegraph Media Group Replacing manual, spreadsheet-based processes with a single innovative solution

Telegraph Media Group, a long-established UK publisher with print and digital titles and a monthly audience of over 27 million, was hampered by a fragmented, spreadsheet-driven approach to budgeting, planning and reporting. The finance team faced time-consuming manual consolidation, frequent errors, single-user bottlenecks and fragile models that left little capacity for analysis or strategic decision-making.

TMG implemented the Board decision‑making platform to unify BI, planning and predictive analytics into one model, replacing spreadsheets with a single source of truth used for weekly, monthly and forecast reporting. The change gave 12 management accountants shared, up‑to‑date data, reduced errors and administrative effort, and freed finance to focus on analysis—improving resource, project and advertising decisions and driving a measurable step-change in efficiency.
