Story
ING grew financial planning faster than the local tools around it. From the Netherlands, financials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. FP&A were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out SS&C Advent put planning and forecasting on SS&C. SS&C Technologies delivers software and services for investment management, healthcare administration, and intelligent automation. ING keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so FP&A do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier planning and forecasting. Financial planning is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join FP&A without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
