Some of the key features in CBW include:

Feature-Rich Data Entry Templates
Within any planning application, there is a need for end-users to key data into the system. Clarity Budget Web provides end-users with an easy-to-use, flexible and secure data entry environment. CBW’s Template Builder provides the administrator(s) with the ability to easily create feature-rich templates that are tailored to each organization’s specific requirements.

Excel-like Look and Feel Over the Web
The learning curve for new users to CBW is dramatically reduced due to the intuitive data entry templates and reports with an MS-Excel look and feel. All of the formatting capabilities of MS-Excel are available in our data entry templates and reports. Also, because nearly 80% of global corporations still use spreadsheets for budgeting, the move to CBW is quick, seamless and well supported by users within the organization.

Workflow Management
With CBW users can easily track the status of the budgeting process by entity and can use the multi-level approval process with secure locking features to ensure that the budget is reviewed and approved in a controlled fashion.

Tight Security
CBW supports a three-tiered security architecture that ensures both the quality and integrity of data as well as confidentiality.

Revenue and Expense Planning
Clarity Budget Web provides a flexible environment to support any organization’s revenue and expense planning requirements. Data can be entered by account or by line-item detail and advanced spreading features help to speed up the data entry process. Users can also very easily move data to MS-Excel and store a copy locally or work off-line.

Salary Planning
The Salary Planning functionality within CBW allows users to enter detailed salary information by person, that is stored and summarized within the system by period. Backed by tight security, the information is then posted to the applicable accounts.

Capital Planning
Capital Planning lets users enter capital information by individual capital asset, or by asset category. Automatically calculating depreciation expenses by asset or asset category, the system stores this detailed information and also summarizes this data by period, to post the data into the applicable accounts.

Business Rules and Allocations
CBW has a sophisticated calculation engine that supports the ability to define complex business rules that can be customized for each CBW implementation. These business rules can be embedded within a template so users can see the impact of their data entry in real time, or, the business rules and allocations can be embedded within the database.

Secure Audit Trail
Clarity Budget Web provides a user-friendly audit trail. Each time data is sent into the database, a compressed copy of the data is stored in the audit trail. With this data, users can easily determine when the data was updated, and who updated the data.

Highly Scalable Architecture
CBW's web architecture is designed to support very high concurrent activity.
