Can non-technical users build planning models with Acterys?

What data sources can Acterys connect to?
Acterys can integrate with multiple ERP systems, accounting platforms, SaaS applications, Microsoft Fabric datasets, and Power BI models, enabling organisations to consolidate financial and operational data into a single planning environment.
What is enterprise write-back in Microsoft Fabric?
Enterprise write-back allows users to input, edit, and update planning or forecasting data directly within reports and dashboards. Acterys extends Microsoft Fabric and Power BI with enterprise-grade write-back functionality for budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, and financial consolidation.

Acterys improves FP&A by automating data modelling, consolidating data sources, enabling real-time planning, supporting continuous forecasting, and providing scalable analytics and reporting capabilities within Microsoft Fabric.
Why is scalability important in financial modelling?
Scalable financial models allow organisations to grow and adapt their planning processes over time. Acterys Modeller supports scalability by enabling businesses to add new data sources, dimensions, and analysis requirements without rebuilding models from scratch.
How quickly can organisations deploy Acterys solutions?
Deployment speed depends on complexity, but organisations like AMAG Retail completed implementation — including data modelling, integrations, Power BI reporting, and write-back functionality — in approximately five months using Acterys Modeller and an agile deployment approach.
Why is scalability important in financial modelling?
Acterys and Microsoft Fabric can support organisations across industries including manufacturing, retail, automotive, financial services, healthcare, professional services, and technology — particularly businesses looking to modernise planning, analytics, and reporting processes.
What makes Acterys different from standard reporting tools?
Unlike standard reporting tools, Acterys provides bidirectional planning and enterprise write-back capabilities. This means users can not only analyse data but also update, plan, forecast, and take action directly within the same analytics environment.
