How the Solver Contributor User Expands Budget Planning Beyond Finance

In the fast-paced world of finance, ease of use and flexibility are non-negotiable. Recognizing this, Solver’s Contributor User license is designed to help organizations affordably expand their budgeting and forecasting tasks to all key stakeholders in the organization.

The Solver Suite provides access to most all features of an extended financial planning and analysis (xFP&A) suite, including planning, reporting, consolidation, analysis. New customers also benefit from getting access for one pass to ASCEND Americas 2025, Solver’s annual user conference.

How the Contributor User License Adds Value

The Contributor User license is designed to streamline the budgeting and forecasting process, making it more accessible and efficient for users within and beyond the finance department. Here’s what it offers:

• Direct Data Input: Users can input data directly into assigned forms, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing errors.
• Access to Published Reports: Contributors can view and analyze published reports, providing them with the insights into budget and forecast variances.
• Enhanced Decision-Making: By giving executive teams and finance professionals the tools they need, the Contributor license accelerates better decisions.

Flexible Licensing

Solver offers three user tiers:

• Standard User: Ideal for users who require full functionality, including running and building reports, entering data, and managing security. This license also includes access to Solver Academy, a comprehensive training and e-learning platform.
• Viewer User: Perfect for team members who only need to view published reports and use the ad-hoc report writer.
• Contributor User: The newest addition, this license is tailored for financial professionals who need to enter budgets and forecasts or view published reports.

Tad Remington, Chief Commercial Officer at Solver, highlights the significance of the Contributor user type:

“Cost-effective budgeting and forecasting across an organization’s departments and business units have been out of reach with most FP&A solutions. With the Solver Contributor User license, customers can accelerate better decisions by shortening the planning process and providing timely, actionable insights to control costs and capitalize on revenue trends.”
