Planning and Budgeting Tool

    Developed as a Microsoft Access application, "Planning and Budgeting Tool (PBT)," has been the primary application for companys' planners & comptrollers to develop & coordinate their Nationwide Business Plan/Budget. Budgets are developed at individual offices nationally, and with PBT, allows managers to roll-up data through Regional offices and ultimately at the National Office headquarters. Data can then be automatically uploaded into their AS/400 based accounting system. PBT, version 1.0 was initially deployed nationally in January 1997, with formal training provided by Innovative Office Systems.
