480th Consulting

480th is a fast growing technology startup with a mission to drive value creation with smarter planning and analytics. Save time, increase accuracy, and ultimately drive growth by making planning a competitive advantage in your business. We were founded by McKinsey & Company alumni who saw the potential to apply our value creation, strategy, and performance management skills into a next generation of technology. Power BI is used in some capacity by 97% of the Fortune 500, and is rapidly becoming the standard BI tool for corporations. However, when used for performance management, particularly by the office of the CFO, it is missing some critical features. Fortunately, we've solved this problem. 480th is pioneering a solution that extends the capabilities of the market-leading Microsoft Power BI platform. With this new solution organizations can seamless integrate planning, forecasting, budgeting and master data management directly inside Power BI. No overpriced 3rd party point solution required. To do this we have partnered with a world class software development startup based in Sweden, who are building the Aimplan solution. Aimplan is a Microsoft ISV-partner, part of the Microsoft FoundersHub start-up program, financed by the founders plus venture-backed by Silicon Valley-based VC company Born Capital. We couldn't believe more strongly in their team, product and vision for the market. We help our clients make distinctive, lasting, and substantial improvements in their performance. Research from Bain & Company shows that 88% of business transformations fail to meet their objectives. Software alone is not the key to success. Rather, a dedicated and focused team of top talent paired with a 'Chief Transformation Officer' is the consistent theme within the 12% of companies who succeed. We will help you be in the 12%.
