The Decimal Suite’s unique proposition

• From day one, the Decimal Suite has been based on process management. Early versions were mainly used as sequential transformation processes. Soon after, the Decimal Suite was developed to support the more traditional cost allocation models often used by service companies. Today, these service companies are increasingly adopting the concepts of operational companies who are more likely to optimize and relocate resources to struggling sectors, control operational constraints and bottlenecks, analyse cost structure and behaviour, etc, to keep businesses running and profitable.
  
  
• The Decimal Suite follows a global cost and budgeting approach. The Suite’s modules support the implementation of a complete cost and budget establishment system. Budgeting process results allow users to determine costs of products and services. Conversely, the design of a cost model is used as a foundation for designing the budgetary process. This unique global approach ensures two things; first, that sales objectives are based on an informed selection of products and services, second, that managers keep track of results and effectively catch and understand discrepancies in the budget. 
  
  
• The Decimal Suite supports comparison of several competing cost models. This provides management with a global and detailed view of the affordability of each model’s performance. Designed to modelize budgetary, actual, forecasted and hypothetical results such as acquisitions, relocalization, and other major decisions, the Decimal Suite consolidates and compares results and shares this business intelligence with a company’s key players.
  
  
• The Decimal Suite gives direction to the development of standard models, ensuring effective benchmarking between operational entities (factories, departments, etc). At the same time, the managers of these entities may define data according to their operational realities directly within the global structure of the master template. This approach allows users to benefit completely from the thoroughness of a centralized system and the flexibility of a spreadsheet.
  
  
• The Decimal Suite uses a global approach for budget and costing. The Collaborator module, is decentralized to allow managers of different executive groups to personally enter their budgetary data. It is built directly within the Modeller module, which analyses trends in company costs.
  
  
• The Decimal Suite offers maximum scalability for projects of any size. The application services clients of all sizes. Whether it’s for profit organization, a private or public company or a public organization (municipal, provincial or federal), the Decimal Suite clarifies the strategic decision-making process, allowing companies to reach corporate objectives. Regardless of the number of users or information required by management, the Decimal Suite offers a unique and scalable potential.
  
  
• The Decimal Suite promotes activity-based management process in any company in which individual entities can establish performance evaluation guidelines and consistent comparison criterions. Companies will see the success of the solutions implemented, as the strategic decisions taken will have measurable impact on the general performance of the company.
