After Longview was positioned by analyst Gartner 2018 in the Magic Quadrant as a visionary for cloud financial planning and analysis solutions (known as Tidemark®), the software vendor is investing heavily in the French market.
Jean-Christophe Montant, Managing Director France, comments: “With an office in the heart of Paris, a renowned and growing customer base with Orange, Engie, Norauto and Veolia, as well as a data center in Europe, we are very well positioned in France”. Montant adds: “In addition, we have a network of active partners and an innovative software solution for all relevant financial issues that is recognized by partners and analysts. France is at the heart of Longview’s growth strategy”.
Longview’s success in France is directly related to Longview Plan powered by Tidemark, the innovative, integrated software solution for planning, forecasting, financial reporting and analysis. Tidemark was acquired by Longview in 2017 and has proven itself as a software solution with a cloud-based architecture. The exceptional flexibility and scalability that Longview Plan powered by Tidemark offers companies in the age of digital transformation cannot be realized with traditional software solutions that work with cubes. Longview’s customers use the Tidemark solution to model very complex processes and can solve use cases that are usually not covered by conventional performance management software.
Nicolas Letavernier, the new Sales Director for France, explains: “We want to definitely raise awareness for our agile planning solution Longview Plan powered by Tidemark in the French market. The advantages are obvious: the Longview platform ‘Connected Finance’ with analysis and real-time financial consolidation is the ideal assistant for the digital finance department”. In fact, the EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) market lacks cloud-based software that offers companies an agile approach to supporting the transformation of the finance department.
