Workforce planning: With Jedox organisations can strategically align, integrate, and accelerate personnel planning for greater transparency and growth goals to be closely aligned with business strategy.
Successful digital transformation requires better insight, not larger volumes of data. Jedox empowers business professionals to capture data, share knowledge, and align on common goals across the organisation. Using its software solutions, businesses can streamline any data-driven process, from strategic planning to complex predictive analytical models and operational performance monitoring.
In addition to offering industry-leading technologies, Jedox serves as a long-term business partner, providing innovation and best practices that give its customers a sustainable advantage. It is designed to be easy, with industry-leading fast implementation times.
Jedox’s big advantage is that it is an independent EPM vendor which means that its solutions can integrate with every ERP system available in the market. This enables Jedox customers to utilise all their data from these systems for value creation.
Instead of having multiple modules that need to be interconnected, Jedox follows a highly flexible platform approach. All the company’s customers’ applications, such as those for sales planning, HR planning, procurement planning, operations planning, etc. sit on top of a single platform. Updates on any of these applications lead to real-time updates to financial statements, P&L, and balance sheets. In this way, Jedox enables every department to be part of the financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting process.
Jedox has established a reputation for unmatched flexibility and ease of integration. Going ahead, the company aims to focus on strengthening its competitive differentiator by introducing additional integrations and connectors to platforms.
The company is also at the forefront of AI and ML with highly effective out-of-the-box functionalities and powerful customisation capabilities. Aiming to build on this leadership, Jedox seeks to make its AI functionality accessible to enable all users within the organisation to leverage it for their planning and budgeting requirements. It intends to make it possible for its AI solution to draw from internal company data and augment this with external data, thus enhancing decision-making.
Jedox has been steadily growing its market share in the Middle East with customer wins across the banking and finance, industrial, oil and gas, and retail sectors. Most recently, Shelf Drilling, a Dubai-based offshore drilling company that provides shallow water services to the oil and gas industry, reduced the time spent on critical data operations by 98% using Jedox EPM.
