Great tool for analysis as it is possible to drill down and twist and turn data which usually is very static. > > **Cons**: We have experienced that some reports take some time if there are a lot of dependencies but it extracts the information once it's published. > > We have gained a lot of time for analysis by using Mercu Business Control. The tool was set up to support month end closing as well as the budget process along with the forecast updates. The reports have entitled us to quickly get the overview we need and to consolidate data for the whole organization. In addition we have added new reports for Project analysis along with personnel data and foremost to get an overview of our monthly chargeability rates. Mercur's great consultants and effective support team has been helpful and very informative of how we can make the outmost of Mercur. I have also gained a lot of knowledge of how I as an adminstrator can make changes on my own. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/149569/mercur-business-control?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/149569/mercur-business-control) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
