10 Week POC: Modernizing Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) with Crux Intelligence

Financial analysis can be a complicated, time-consuming endeavor. Financial data must be gathered, processed, then reviewed from multiple angles to determine the best path forward. Collection and analysis of data can be very time-consuming if done manually. Additionally, this time consuming process can limit an organization's ability to drill down into data and conduct in-depth analysis of financial data that could yield previously undetected insights.

To help organizations overcome the challenges presented by traditional financial analysis methods, Fractal Analytics is offering a 10-week proof of concept engagement where we will demonstrate how organizations can greatly expedite financial analysis activities, ensure data accuracy, and drill down into financial data via ad hoc financial reports with Crux Intelligence leveraging modernized financial data in an enterprise database built on Azure.

Crux Intelligence is an AI-drive data visualization tool from our parent company Fractal. It is designed to allow users to easily create on-demand data visualizations and dashboards by simply typing questions in natural language. Once a question is entered, Crux leverages AI to generate visualizations designed to answer the question or provide the requested data. From there, users can easily save the visualization to a dashboard for use at a later date.

Over the course of this 10-week engagement, Fracta Analytics will work directly with the customer to learn about their challenges, their current IT landscape, and develop a migration and data modernization roadmap. From there, Fractal will develop the required database on Azure, execute the migration, stand up required Azure services and infrastructure to support the Crux-based financial analysis proof of concept, and then bring on implementation experts from Fractal to implement Crux Intelligence. At the end of this 10 weeks, the organization will receive a functional proof of concept designed to demonstrate the value of leveraging Crux Intelligence and a modern database on Azure for FP&A activities.
