Vanguard Predictive Planning provides forecast accuracy

Vanguard believes that increased forecast accuracy adds more value to enterprise management and financial returns than any other technology investment. Research analysts and ERP consultants support this stance, describing advanced-analytic forecasting as the “essential building block,” the “keystone,” and the “cornerstone” of enterprise performance improvement.

The underlying message is that among all possible IT investments, increased forecast accuracy is the single biggest (and surest) driver of direct savings, revenue, and total return on investment.
