Case Study: Scholastic Corporation achieves faster, more accurate budgeting and forecasting with Maxiplan

Scholastic - Customer Case Study

Scholastic Corporation, through its Australian business, needed a better way to manage complex spreadsheet-based budgeting and forecasting across nine business units while improving data accuracy and meeting quarterly reporting deadlines to its New York head office. The company also needed a solution that could integrate with its existing JD Edwards ERP and business intelligence tools.

Maxiplan delivered a web-based financial performance management solution that automated budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and reporting, with seamless two-way integration to JD Edwards. As a result, Scholastic achieved significantly faster budget and forecast production, stronger data integrity, better management reporting, and real-time visibility across all business units, while also enabling multiple forecast iterations and what-if analysis.
