Classification

Integrating Predictive Forecasting into Planning and Forecasting

For CFOs and leaders in FP&A, Controlling, and Finance Transformation who want to supplement forecasts with statistical models and machine learning. CCH Tagetik Predictive Intelligence uses financial, operational, and external data for AI-powered forecasts. Machine learning models identify patterns and correlations in historical data and highlight relevant business drivers.

Explainable predictions help users understand the factors behind a forecast. Forecasts and scenarios can then be directly incorporated into existing planning processes and updated.

BLUEBIRD provides support for data preparation, modeling, integration into planning, and implementation.

PLATFORM ADVANTAGE

Your Added Value Through Predictive Intelligence with CCH Tagetik

AI-powered forecasts

Use historical, operational, and external data for forecasts.

Driver Analysis

Identify patterns and relationships underlying deviations and trends.

Reasonable Forecasts

Identify the factors influencing model results.

Scenarios

Compare the effects of changes in assumptions and framework conditions.

Integration into Planning

Background

Why Predictive Intelligence with CCH Tagetik Is Relevant to You

Manual updates reach their limits when numerous operational, financial, and external factors must be taken into account simultaneously. As the volume of data increases, so does the effort required to manually identify patterns, deviations, and relevant drivers.

CCH Tagetik Predictive Intelligence uses machine learning to identify correlations in historical and current data and derive forecasts from them. Explainable predictions show which factors influence the outcome. Forecasts can be updated as new data becomes available and compared with existing planning figures.

Features

What CCH Tagetik Offers in the Area of Predictive Intelligence

The added value lies in the controlled integration of data analysis, understanding of drivers, and management control.

IN-DEPTH

From Explainable Forecasts to Planning at the Push of a Button

CCH Tagetik bases its predictive forecasting on four building blocks. The Analytic Information Hub integrates granular financial, operational, and external data into a unified data foundation for the models. Explainable Predictions reveal the reasoning behind AI results, ensuring that forecasts remain justifiable to management and business units. Through driver analysis, machine learning identifies the patterns and correlations behind the results—not just the final value. One-Click Planning updates forecasts in real time as new data becomes available, and what-if simulations evaluate course of action options based on deep data correlations. This shifts FP&A from manual planning to explainable, data-driven decision support.

Use Cases

Where CCH Tagetik Delivers the Greatest Value in the Predictive Process

The practical benefits are evident where companies want to organize forecasting in a more precise, transparent manner that is more closely aligned with the actual drivers. In particular:

  • high uncertainty in markets, costs, or demand

  • fragmented forecasting processes with many manual assumptions

  • limited transparency regarding the actual drivers of variances

  • a need for better scenarios and data-driven decision support

  • the desire to integrate predictive forecasting more closely with planning, xP&A, and reporting

  • Planning processes where agility and rapid response to changes are critical


The concrete benefits are primarily reflected in higher forecasting accuracy, improved explainability, clearer transparency into drivers, shorter planning cycles, and a more robust integration of forecasting with management control.

TARGET AUDIENCES

For Which Companies Is CCH Tagetik Particularly Well-Suited?

In the predictive analytics space, CCH Tagetik is particularly well-suited for companies that no longer want to organize forecasting primarily through manual updates and isolated models.

These include, in particular:

  • Corporate groups and larger mid-market companies with more complex forecasting requirements

  • Companies under significant pressure to improve response speed and forecast quality

  • Organizations that want to integrate operational, financial, and external data more closely

  • Finance departments in need of modernization in FP&A, forecasting, and explainability

  • Companies that want to implement predictive forecasting as part of a broader intelligent platform strategy

Relevant roles:

  • Roles closely aligned with the CFO

  • FP&A, Controlling

  • Department heads

  • Finance transformation teams

PLATTFORMLOGIK

CCH Tagetik im Zusammenspiel mit weiteren Finance-Prozessen

CCH Tagetik verbindet Planung, Forecasting, Konsolidierung, Reporting und weitere Finance-Prozesse auf einer gemeinsamen Plattform. Daten, Annahmen und Ergebnisse können dadurch über verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche hinweg genutzt und ausgewertet werden.

Die einzelnen Lösungen lassen sich miteinander verbinden und schrittweise erweitern. Welche Bereiche zusammengeführt werden, richtet sich nach den bestehenden Prozessen und Anforderungen der Finance-Organisation.

SUITABILITY AND LIMITATIONS

When CCH Tagetik Predictive Intelligence Is Less Suitable— Where the Approach Doesn’t Fit

CCH Tagetik is not automatically the right solution in every context. Its structural benefits arise when Predictive Intelligence is intentionally integrated with the data foundation, planning, governance, and decision-making logic.

  • when there are only very simple forecasting requirements without a platform-wide perspective

  • when forecasts are to be organized completely separately from planning and finance processes

  • when the target state, data foundation, and responsibilities are not clearly defined

  • when the organization does not intend to systematically embed explainable forecasts and governance

When evaluating predictive intelligence, the scope of functionality is just as important as the target architecture, process control, and financial value added.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About CCH Tagetik Predictive Intelligence

The solution supports AI- and ML-powered predictions, identifies patterns and drivers in data, and delivers explainable results for more accurate planning and faster forecasting—all embedded within the CCH Tagetik platform for planning, reporting, and performance management.

The Analytic Information Hub integrates and processes granular financial, operational, and external data, thereby providing the data foundation for predictive models and forecasts—without limiting forecasting to simplified or manually reduced data sets.

Explainability makes predictions transparent. CCH Tagetik reveals the reasoning behind AI results so that decisions are based on reliable and justifiable information—not on black-box outputs.

"One-Click Planning" means that forecasts and plans can be quickly updated when new data becomes available or conditions change, without the need for time-consuming manual revisions—providing real-time operational planning support.

Yes. "What-if" simulations are based on deep data correlations and support more precise scenario models—for companies that want to compare different courses of action.

CCH Tagetik identifies the performance drivers behind forecasted results—external, financial, and operational factors that influence the outcome. This is the fundamental difference from traditional forecasting, which merely extrapolates final values.

Yes. Predictive Intelligence is a specialized AI component within the broader CCH Tagetik platform for planning, forecasting, analysis, and control—not a standalone AI add-on.

Ideally, early on—before predictive forecasting is established as a standalone AI topic rather than as part of a robust finance architecture. That is precisely where it is determined whether predictive intelligence will be operationally useful or merely implemented from a technical standpoint.
