Monday, October 3, 2022 #104762 Wayne D. from CFO "CTICC using IDU" Overall: IDU has been a very useful tool in the organisation and for myself as it has streamlined the entire budgeting process and the management of it. Pros: The entire budgeting process is better managed by having each departmental head mange their budget inputs and able to see their changes easily and they can extract it into Excel to make changes and add notes. This allows for better upward review and monitoring of the process. The ability to have whatever reporting structure you want built into teh system or using Excel reports is useful. Cons: The building of reports and understanding the formulas to use and column references in the reports. Reasons for Choosing IDU-Concept: Better functionality, ease of use and cost.

Friday, September 9, 2022 #104254 Hlonelwa M. "IDU is a great budgeting and reporting tool" I like the budgeting function of IDU. Ever since using IDU, budgeting has been more efficient. It has functionalities that you can standardise to ensure consistency among departments/companies. You can have explanations of the exact details of the elements that one is budgeting for, so you have all the detail relating to budget easily accessible. Anything shortcomings in the current budgeting tool that you are using, IDU has the solution. It can integrate with our accounting system. We initially used IDU as just a budgeting tool, we now use the Reporting function of IDU. So you now have your reporting information all centralised in one package. As all the data is in IDU we use IDU for board reporting. IDU has resolved the challenge of having to use different systems, yet the information(data warehouse ) is the same. So you just access only IDU for your budgeting and actual results Did you find this review helpful?
