EASIEST TO USE

Excel is the user interface - easy, familiar, intuitive. This is where analysis, data entry and what-if's take place, and where reports are viewed.

EASIEST TO DEPLOY

First of all, the Spreadsheet Automation Server - the heart, soul and brains of A3 Modeling - unifies the entire Corporate Performance Management feature set of A3 Modeling including Reports, Input Models, Ad-hoc Analysis, Dashboards, Workflow, Security... everything.

LOWEST TOTAL COST TO OWN AND MAINTAIN

For many of the same reasons that A3 Modeling is easier to deploy - unified codebase, single point of maintenance of security, data source connections, and metadata - it is also lower cost to own and maintain.
