Research on Budgeting Software which Utilise MS Excel

[BBKP]

Hi Everybody

Please kindly assist. I wish to find out from Chandoo forum members with relevant experience about the best budgeting software available on the market which utilizes MS excel as the core backbone of the budgeting software. This software should enable collection of departmental Capital expenditure, Operating cost, asset and liability budget projections. The software should enable easy collaboration during budgeting among various users i.e. staff, departmental HODs e.t.c. in a corporate environment.

The software should not be rigid as SAP or some of those other rigid ERP systems but should have a flexible user interface which leverages my existing MS excel skills.

NB:This should not be a budget reporting software but budget formulation/collaboration software.

Thanks all members in advance for their assistance

There are few out there. But you really need to have demo and test drive to see if it will meet your requirement (get key stake holders involved as well).

Try a few from the link.

We utilize Oracle Essbase.
Oracle Essbase - Business Intelligence Solutions - oracle.com
It is fairly intuitive and contains XL addins that allow users to manipulate everything in Excel. The product takes a little work to get setup but very dynamic.
