CONTROL® commands are displayed as additional MS-Excel menu items and toolbars, and are backed by a robust, multidimensional computational engine and your choice of relational database (including Oracle, DB2/400, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, or UDB). Yet all the traditional functions and capabilities of Excel are retained. There is no need to download and upload. All information is presented directly in Excel, making extensive use of multiple tabbed workbooks to organize the information. Data is entered directly in Excel into one single repository, avoiding integrity issues.

There is no need to re-do what you already have. You can optimize your investment in existing budget templates, management report books, etc., by simply cutting and pasting or directly linking to or from any CONTROL® "view."

There is no long learning curve. You build upon what you already know Excel graphing, formatting, printing, etc.
Planning, budgeting, forecasting, analysis and reporting have never been easier or more efficient!
