Exl-Plan offers you many significant benefits including:
Save substantial time and money. With Exl-Plan, you only need
to familiarize yourself with its range of variable and reports before
you start entering assumptions and planning.
Exl-Plan is error-free, well-tested, robust, powerful and
expandable. It is also clearly documented and supported.
You don't have to be a financial whizz-kid or spreadsheet
rocket scientist to make detailed projections and to explore complex
scenarios with Exl-Plan.
Building and testing a comparable model to Exl-Plan could require
hundreds (thousands?) of hours of spreadsheet programming, worksheet formatting
and formulae entry. In contrast, you can be up-and-running with Exl-Plan in
less than a hour.
If you already have a spreadsheet or financial background, you can
use this expertise to expand and tailor Exl-Plan to handle special
factors or to get into greater detail.
Most
importantly, Exl-Plan serves as a tool which allows you to concentrate
on the task of planning rather than programming. It frees you from
having to write hundreds of formulae and routines and allows you to
devote more of your precious time to researching assumptions and evaluating
the resultant projections. Used effectively, Exl-Plan can help you improve
plans and performance. At the very minimum, it will help you to avoid
costly mistakes which could arise in the absence of clear plans.
