Story
Financials work at Goldman Sachs spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Financial planning was splitting across regional habits. FP&A asked for a shared way to run planning and forecasting without freezing local judgment.
SS&C (SS&C Blue Prism) is what they standardized on. SS&C Technologies delivers software and services for investment management, healthcare administration, and intelligent automation. Goldman Sachs uses it as the system of record for financial planning, with FP&A as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
