Lodestar Solutions Information

Still running your business on Excel? Or already on IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), Cognos, or SPSS and want more from them? Either way, Lodestar Solutions helps you gain clarity and confidence in your analytics — whether you're modernizing for the first time or maximizing the IBM investment you own. For 20+ years, we've been the trusted Analytics Advisors to organizations ready to move beyond spreadsheet chaos. Before we talk technology, we start with alignment, so your team agrees on the plan and the platform sticks. From there, we help you: Move to SaaS — Every day on outdated, on-premise software adds risk — and misses the AI-infused capability already built into the technology you own. Our Proven Upgrade Bundles move you off Excel, or off on-prem IBM Planning Analytics and Cognos, faster and with less risk. Support & Renewal — We optimize your IBM Planning Analytics, Cognos, and SPSS licensing before you renew, so you're never overpaying for capability you don't use. Upgrades & Consulting — Your strategy isn't cookie-cutter. Your planning models shouldn't be either. Are yours built for the business you were yesterday, or the company you're becoming? We design bespoke models around where you're headed. Training — Hands-on training on Planning Analytics/TM1, Cognos, and SPSS that builds your team's confidence and self-sufficiency. What makes us different: Private, Clients-Only Virtual User Groups each quarter — best practices and peer learning you won't find elsewhere. Licensing Optimization Audits for the right mix at the right price. Self-Sufficiency Focus — we build your team's expertise, not dependency on us. Woman-Owned Small Business with personalized, enterprise-level service. Planning should be a business process, not just a finance exercise — clearer insights, confident forecasts, decisions you can act on.
