Our Services and Software
We do this by offering our services and expertise across the full IBM Analytics suite, which comprises of IBM Planning Analytics, IBM Cognos Controller, and IBM Cognos Analytics. We deliver expert consultancy services, supply software licences on behalf of IBM and offer training and technical support. We only work with IBM software and our Consultants specialise in product integration.
Why do you need us?
We know that many business’ rely on Excel for their financial processes and whilstit’s great for smaller companies, as your business grows and becomes more complex, Excel increasingly struggles to meet the growing needs of your business.
Our experienced consultants are very familiar with the common problems that are caused or exacerbated by a strong reliance on Excel.
• Multiple spreadsheets and different versions of the truth
• Complicated rules across spreadsheets
• Complex ownership and changing structures
• Intercompany trading
Multi-currency and multi GAAP
We know the limitations of Excel, but we also realise that it is a cornerstone of many systems and processes and a favourite application among Finance professionals and Accountants. We can help you to the next level of financial planning and reporting by upgrading you to latest IBM Analytics software. Crucially all the components of the IBM Analytics suite integrate and complement Excel and come with tools to remain working directly in Excel. Good right?
Our Approach
Our unique approach to consultancy is one of the key reasons why we stand out from the pack. We deliver solutions that are owned by our customers. We develop simple designs that enable our customers to take full ownership of their solutions. We can support you as and when required but we enable our customers to be self-sufficient and not reliant on external skills.
Of course we can and do provide all the development resources required for any project, but should this not be your preferred approach we can act as a trusted advisor and mentor, which reduces the level of consultancy cost and enhances the skills transfer process.
,“One of the key successes of MRE UK’s project was adopting Aramar’s train and mentor approach. Although training a team of five—rather than a single superuser—added some time to the start of the project, it reduced the company’s reliance on a single subject-matter expert and helped to minimize risk. By building its IBM Planning Analytics knowledge as a team, MRE UK can now resolve the majority of technical questions without external support.”
Melton Renewable Energy
“We definitely felt like we were working with a real expert, and Aramar’s approach gave us a lot of confidence in the planning and execution of the cloud migration.”
Premier Foods
“We chose to work with Aramar because not only were they clearly very knowledgeable about the IBM® Cognos® Controller, TM1® and Business Intelligence software, they also had excellent project management skills, and a lot of experience with financial consolidation projects. This gave us confidence that the team could deliver a solution that really worked for our business.”

Ready to Go Solutions
But what if you need a solution that’s ready to go? Well that’s why we invested time in developing Fast Financials and Lease 16. Fast Financials is an out the box planning and reporting solution, that takes a few days to connect to and visualise your data. Lease 16 is our IFRS 16 lease management tool, and also allows you to create, manage, store, and analyse leases within a few days. With these solutions, we take the project time down from weeks to days.
“One of the things that can help is Aramar’s Fast Financials solution, which helps by pre-configuring some of the initial dimensions and settings out-of-the-box. That’s important, because although Planning Analytics is very flexible, it does expect you to build a lot of things from scratch.”
