deFacto Global’s, deFacto Planning and Microsoft’s Power BI, are leaders in the field of advanced analytics. Together, they teamed-up to create deFacto Power Planning – a 100% Microsoft-based financial and operational planning solution, that represents a new generation of enterprise performance management and planning. It combines the full power of the world’s most capable BI tool, Microsoft’s Power BI, with the power of the world’s most powerful corporate analysis and planning tool, deFacto Planning V10, in a way that has never been done before.
Why is this revolutionary? Typically, corporate planning products are focused on financial management, while business intelligence tools are focused on operational management.

Unfortunately, that reality only existed in marketing materials—until now.
