- Application Requirements for Rolling Forecasts We only have 45 minutes, but in fact, we have a 4-hour workshop on the topic of application requirements for rolling forecasts. So, the plan is to talk at a 30k foot view and get a bit closer to the topic, but we’re going to cover the 1 of the 3 core requirements in some detail so as to make this presentation somewhat concrete. However, the good new is: we’ll start with a “Why are we here” kind of message and hopefully get motivated to learn more since we will have plenty of follow-up materials available. Please ask questions, but not about Alight software. Catch us later for that. Let’s have some fun!

I get lots of calls from people looking for a budgeting software package and they say oh by the way it needs to work for forecasting. But perhaps the better question is I need a forecasting/planning package and it also needs to work for budgeting – or I’ve even seen we have a budgeting solution up and running, but now we need a tool for forecasting…
