Customer review

Verified G2 review — Evergreen Lifestyle Villages.

"IDU radically simplifies the budgeting process and allows responsibility to rest with the correct people. It fundamentally changes the budgeting process. Historically the entire budgeting process was the responsibility of the finance team — now the responsibility is shared with the operating team and end-users of the budgets."

— Financial Director, Evergreen Lifestyle Villages. One of 44+ verified reviews on G2.

It fundamentally changes the budgeting process.
