Jedox and CFGI Germany - Your partners for modern corporate planning

Jedox is one of the leading software providers for corporate planning, performance management, and business intelligence (BI). With 2,800 customers in 140 countries, the software has been in the market for 20 years. Jedox has consistently achieved top rankings from prestigious analyst firms such as Gartner and BARC.

In contrast to the large software firms like SAP, IBM, or Oracle, Jedox has focused specifically on the use case of corporate planning. Therefore, Jedox is regarded as an absolute planning specialist. However, Jedox's complete range of products is much broader and includes solutions for financial consolidation and ESG, among others. Customers particularly appreciate the flexibility of the solution, as well as the corporate-wide collaboration that comes with the software.

Overview of the Jedox platform structure

The Jedox software has evolved into a platform solution and now serves as a comprehensive performance management solution for customers.
The "Jedox Integrator" serves as the ETL component, allowing data integration from a variety of source systems via API or predefined interfaces (e.g. SAP).

For fast calculations and displays, real-time analysis, and running of complex rules, a powerful multi-dimensional in-memory database has been developed.

These data can be modeled using the "Jedox Modeler," allowing unlimited modeling and thus the creation of individual planning models. Additionally, workflows can be modeled to facilitate an efficient planning process with modern collaboration capabilities.

A strong user experience is ensured by the modern and appealing Jedox Web Frontend. Data can be accessed via the web, MS Excel, or even smartphones. The intuitive, Excel-like handling of data promises quick user acceptance.

Differentiation from competitors

Adaptability and flexibility

The solution provides a high degree of flexibility. The focus is less on a fixed standard and more on customization and individual configuration.

Development by business users

Coding is not necessary for application development, allowing business users to be independent and further develop the application themselves.

Strong data integration

Jedox offers a large set of standard connectors, that makes it easy to integrate various source systems.

Quick project implementation

"Jedox Accelerators" provide customers with best practices in the form of pre-built models that can be customized to individual needs.

Excel similarity

The Jedox Web Frontend is very similar to Excel, enabling a quick slice and dice of data through views (similar to a pivot table).
