ITE Group reaps the benefits of accelerated planning and improved collaboration

 ITE Group thrives on a global stage. The conference and trade exhibition planner organises events in 15 countries with staff located in 27 offices worldwide. As operations grew, relying on Excel spreadsheets became unrealistic. ITE Group needed a performance management solution that handles data involving multiple regional offices, agencies, and currencies. Adaptive Planning, part of the Adaptive Suite, delivered that scalability. Consolidating data, such as price assumptions and currency rates, took minutes instead of days. Automation of processes and other reporting features delivered immediate value to the organisation, empowering ITE Group to expand its reach to emerging global markets.
