Answers from our 40+ Abacum implementations 

Where can Valuemont help us with Abacum?

As an authorized Abacum partner, we can help you properly evaluate Abacum as a platform, scope your project (including TCO), assess business outcomes and ROI, manage implementation, train your users, and provide ongoing support.

Let's schedule some time together to understand how we can best help you.

What countries and regions does Valuemont support for Abacum projects?

We primarily focus on EMEA and North America at this time, but our global network of certified Abacum implementation consultants enables us to effectively support Abacum clients and projects in any region and time zone.

Valuemont has been delivering Abacum projects and supporting Abacum customers across multiple locations on these two continents, including the United States, the UK and Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the Nordics, the UAE, and others.

What do customers commonly start their Abacum journey with?

Based on our experience, the most common initial combination is Financial Reporting, Financial Forecasting, and Headcount Planning. This provides a pretty much complete FP&A solution for your business, which can be delivered on the Abacum platform in approximately 8–12 weeks.

Let's talk to explore how it works best for you.

How fast can I get my first Abacum solution up and running?

Most Abacum clients start with a combination of Financial Reporting, Financial Forecasting, and Headcount Planning use cases and have them delivered in approximately 8–12 weeks.

Let's talk to explore how it works best for you.

How easy is it to adopt Abacum compared to traditional FP&A solutions?

Based on our considerable experience across different industries, Abacum, due to its unique set of benefits, is much faster to implement and easier to adopt at a growth company - you can realistically get it done in weeks, not months. Additionally, we believe that Abacum is a significantly better fit for outcome-focused and agile implementations.

What business benefits can we realistically achieve with Abacum?

These can be business and operational benefits - both tangible or intangible (qualitative). Abacum can dramatically improve your operational efficiency as a fast-growing company, allowing you to focus your teams on what really matters especially when time is your most critical resource - this is where the benefits start to emerge.

Business benefits often include traceable revenue or market share increases and/or cost reductions (OPEX, COGS, etc.), while the most valuable operational benefits may include shorter reporting and budgeting cycles, stronger compliance, and support in closing funding rounds. We can help you identify the business benefits you can realistically achieve with Abacum as your next-level FP&A tool.

Can Valuemont help with migrating to Abacum from our existing FP&A tool?

Sure. We aim to protect the investment you’ve already made and therefore never force a migration. However, if a migration is justified, Abacum is an excellent choice for growth-focused companies.

You can rely on our team’s deep Abacum expertise and many years of experience with a wide range of planning tools, including migration projects. Let's talk!

I'm an existing Abacum client looking for a support partner. Can Valuemont help?

Yes, we’d be glad to support you with your existing Abacum solution.

We have over 1.5 years of hands-on Abacum implementation experience and can help you with all key components, including Integrations, Data management, Reporting, Modelling, Workflows, User training & enablement, and other.

Let's schedule some time together to discuss your current setup and explore how we can best support you.

I'm an FP&A professional, and I want to learn Abacum. Can Valuemont help me?

Yes, we’re very interested in expanding the Abacum expert community and are helping FP&A professionals learn and get certified on Abacum FP&A platform. Please use our Join Valuemont form to let us know you’re willing to apply.

Please note that we cannot guarantee your acceptance as an Abacum trainee or contractor, and our current focus is on the EMEA and Americas regions. However, we promise that your application will be reviewed with great care and attention!

Can Abacum work together with a 3rd-party Supply Chain Planning solution?

Yes, Abacum, as a best-in-breed FP&A platform, can seamlessly work with the supply chain planning solution of your choice, and we can of course help you integrate them so that you're getting a true integrated business planning experience.

If you're a growth company looking for the most-modern, intuitive, and AI-native supply chain planning and optimization solution to pair with Abacum, we recommend that you take a look at Flowlity platform.
