With the end of summer comes the preparation of the budget

Back-to-school season is just around the corner, the headlines are filling the front pages, and there's a mad dash to the school supplies aisles... And back at the office, it's time for budget preparation.

Inventory of renewed budgets, identification of needs, review of requests, evaluation of project costs and benefits.

Using Excel? Switch to a project portfolio management tool!

With Project Monitor you can :

• enter requests

• define different investment scenarios
• establish a workflow between your project leaders, managers and financial departments
• document, scenario different hypotheses, compile, validate, loop as many times as necessary...

These tools will help you avoid resorting to more radical arbitration techniques:
