Case Study: City of Marseille optimizes budgeting and forecasting with Pigment

City of Marseille centralizes data and planning with Pigment

The City of Marseille, a large public administration in France with more than 10,000 employees and an annual budget of around €1.5 billion, was struggling with fragmented, siloed information and time-consuming manual budget processes. Finance teams spent too much time collecting, formatting, and forwarding data, making it difficult to provide decision-makers with reliable, consistent information. To address this, Marseille chose Pigment for budget planning and multi-year capital planning.

With Pigment’s EPM platform, the City of Marseille centralized data and planning into a single source of truth, improving collaboration, scenario simulation, and budget forecasting. Pigment enabled rapid adoption in just a few weeks, supported better communication through alerts and comments, and helped the city move from reactive budget management to proactive anticipation of needs and unforeseen events.
