IDU is the FP&A platform that closes the gap between the people who own the numbers and the people who answer for them. Budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, capex planning, and management reporting all live in one governed environment — connected natively to every major ERP, with the audit trail your regulator expects and the day-one usability your cost-centre managers need. What's inside the platform. • Budgeting and planning — every methodology, governed in one model. • Forecasting — driver-based, monthly cadence, AI-assisted at cost-centre level. • Consolidations — multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-GAAP, with automated intercompany eliminations. • Capex planning — transfers, disposals, and budgeted-vs-actual in one workflow. • Reporting — board-ready reports and dashboards that drill from group total to GL transaction. • AI — the Help Agent guides every user; the Insight Agent narrates what the numbers mean. How IDU runs. Three deployment paths: IDU Cloud on Microsoft Azure, your private cloud, or on-premise. Three licensing models: classic SaaS, Software-with-a-Service, or subscription.
