Why is AI transformation so difficult for Finance and Planning teams?
Many organizations face three common blockers:
- Disconnected data sources → multiple systems that don’t talk to each other.
- Siloed planning processes → slow collaboration across departments.
- Rigid analytics tools → outdated reporting that can’t keep up with real-time business needs.
On top of this, most finance teams rely heavily on Excel, where critical operational data lives in an unstructured format. That makes the leap straight from Excel to AI almost impossible — because AI models require structured data to work effectively.
How does Acterys help organizations get from Excel to AI?
Acterys bridges the gap by combining Excel, Microsoft Fabric, and Power BI into one platform. With smart write-back capabilities, Acterys transforms the data sitting in Excel into structured, AI-ready information. This means finance teams can:
- Update data in real time.
- Write directly back to databases.
- Instantly prepare data to train AI models.
The result? Teams can move fast, stay agile, and unlock AI insights without abandoning their existing tools.
What makes Acterys different from other enterprise planning tools?
Acterys stands out because it:
- Optimizes structured data for AI in real time.
- Delivers enterprise write-back at scale.
- Works seamlessly with Fabric, Power BI, and Excel — tools your team already knows.
- Integrates both out-of-the-box AI models and custom-built ones into planning workflows.
This combination means organizations don’t just prepare for AI — they actually embed AI directly into decision-making processes.
How does Acterys use AI in real business scenarios?
With Acterys, organizations can plug AI into planning and forecasting workflows instantly. Some examples include:
- Revenue forecasting → predicting sales trends and improving accuracy.
- Supply chain optimization → adjusting to demand shifts in real time.
- Financial decision support → modeling scenarios and reducing risk.
Because Acterys leverages both custom and pre-built AI models, businesses can start small and scale as their AI maturity grows.
How does Acterys integrate into Microsoft Fabric?
Acterys doesn’t just connect to Fabric — it’s embedded inside it. Users work within the same familiar interface they already know in Fabric and Power BI. Acterys logic, workflows, and algorithms are stored directly in Fabric, making it simple to:
- Maintain governance and security.
- Encourage collaboration across departments.
- Centralize planning and analytics in one ecosystem.
No steep learning curves. No duplicate systems. Just Fabric, supercharged by Acterys.
What performance advantages does Acterys bring to AI-driven planning?
Acterys takes advantage of parallel processing techniques, which significantly speed up how data is handled and analyzed. This ensures:
- Faster AI model training.
- Quicker insights and reports.
- Scalable performance as business data volumes grow.
In short, your AI doesn’t just work — it works at the speed of your business.
How does Acterys improve collaboration across the business?
By centralizing logic and algorithms inside Fabric, Acterys ensures that everyone — from finance and operations to IT and data teams — works from the same source of truth. That means:
- Shared visibility.
- Unified planning.
- Cross-department collaboration that eliminates silos.
When everyone is connected to the same platform, decisions are faster, more reliable, and AI-driven.
What’s the overall impact of using Acterys with Fabric?
Organizations can expect to:
- Simplify planning by consolidating workflows.
- Centralize data for real-time access and governance.
- Accelerate transformation with AI-powered forecasting, analytics, and insights.
The outcome is not just better data — it’s smarter, faster decisions that drive real business impact.
