Case Study: ORS Group achieves fully integrated planning and major time savings with smartPM.solutions

Integrated planning system incl. risk management highly satisfies ORS Group

ORS Group, an Austrian broadcasting and streaming service provider, faced an administratively complex and error-prone financial planning process that was entirely dependent on disjointed Excel files. This system consumed significant person-days for each forecast and budget cycle, preventing the finance team from focusing on value-adding activities. To modernize its operations, ORS partnered with smartPM.solutions to implement an integrated financial planning and analysis (FP&A) solution, built on the Unit4 FP&A (prevero) technology.

smartPM.solutions implemented a fully integrated system for analysis, planning, risk management, reporting, and HR, which automated previously manual tasks. The solution delivered a dramatic time saving of up to 13 person-days per forecast or budget cycle and provided 100% data trust for reliable decision-making. The board of directors was highly satisfied with the results, and department managers now enjoy using the tool to gain deeper insights. The success of the project has established the finance department as a digitization role model within ORS Group.
