Testimonials

Here is why customers rate Alight #1 in Customer Satisfaction: 

Pittsburgh Mercy Health Systems

"Alight has let me implement a totally new culture for planning and analysis; it's changing how we run this organization. We're now at $600,000 in documented improvements."
Raymond Wolfe, CFO 

SightLife

"Alight's driver-based system has streamlined our budget process from months to weeks and their support is excellent. Alight's implementation and support team's extensive expertise helped us design the proper system to incorporate all the intricacies of fund accounting needed for our NPO. We investigated multiple software tools and Alight provided the most cost effective, efficient solution."
Tim McLaughlin, CFO and Jeanette Wilcox, Director of Finance  

Concerro

“Alight has increased productivity significantly by enabling me to transition to my team what used to reside on several spreadsheets that only I could understand... let alone manipulate. Now we can work on the model together. I work on the top line assumptions with the executive team and my accounting staff can vet expense drivers and layer in actual results.”
Derek J. Quackenbush, CFO 

Iroquois

“The greatest benefit is scenario analysis. I can now quickly move between scenarios and make maintenance changes across scenarios in a single operation. The Alight implementation consultant was great! With only 25 hours of help, together we built an extremely sophisticated model of our business.”
Connie Johnson, Senior Financial Analyst 

Employee Benefit Management Services

“Budgeting and forecasting in Alight has resulted in improved decision making at EBMS. Alight enabled us to identify the financial performance of our product lines and make adjustments in pricing and production appropriately. We now easily forecast changes in our business and produce professional reports.”
Marilyn Bartlett, CFO 

DownEast Enterprises

“The surprising part of the Alight implementation was how easy it was for line managers to build their own activity model. We re-planned our business in real time — creating and changing scenarios on-the-fly and answering complicated “what if” questions. The critical difference is that we’re making much better decisions, and that’s the bottom line.”
Judith Van Norman, CFO  

G & A Partners

“Alight stands out for me in its design, flexibility and power. It can do anything Excel can do, and much more. Further, these advantages for Alight are matched by the quality of its consultants and support staff. After checking out multiple competitors, I got a very strong feeling that Alight's staff would be excellent to work with, and I was right. The consultants quickly got what my company wanted its model to do and enabled us to get a complex model up and running.”
Ted Isensee, Controller & CPA    

Schoolwires

“I needed to move fast…I actually built the Schoolwires Alight P&L model during the trial period before I bought the software! We closed on $12 million in growth capital and Alight was an important tool in helping us reach our funding goals.”
Don Eisele, CFO 

California Academy of Sciences

"The first time I saw Alight, I recognized the core functionality of Hyperion Pillar, a unit/rate/amount architecture, which is what we needed at the Academy. The Alight team also built the original Pillar enterprise planning software package. We have been so pleased with Alight that we recently upgraded to a site license."
Stacy Robson, Director of Financial Planning and Analysis  

Softlayer

"I’m impressed by Alight’s attention to after sale customer matters such as product documentation, support, and implementation. In terms of functionality of the Alight software, the proof is in the performance. I can now do analyses in a couple of hours that would literally take days with my former budgeting software package."
Gary Kinman, Vice-President, Finance

Ice River Springs

"The equity group was in amazement. They would ask what if we add a new location with certain volume levels or what if resin prices moved from x to y, and I would call them back in 10 minutes with the impacts. Since my Alight model was driver-based everything was consistent. I’m taking Alight with me wherever I go!"
Michael Rowe, CFO

Bates Technical College

"I had my capital planning model up and running in Alight within weeks! We now have access to both planning and budget tracking – both would have been nearly impossible with spreadsheets. We’re now in the process of expanding Alight into operational planning."
Marty Mattes, Director Facilities & Operations 

Pennsylvania State University

"Alight provides more of a database feeling with less errors and more robust interfaces than Excel. You get the flexibility of a spreadsheet but don't have to maintain multiple planning files since Alight is an integrated solution."
Dave Breon, University Planner 

St. Mary's Health System

"The software is easy to move around in. I also like the dimensions and the filters components that let me quickly view specific subsets of data with everything flowing quickly and directly into the finanial statements."
Marisa Johnson, Senior Financial Analyst

Open Learning Exchange

"When the executive team gets together to review projects, it's not a stack of PowerPoints. We review directly in Alight, talking through allocation scenarios in real time and making adjustments on-the-fly."
Jim Krzywicki, Chief Operating Officer

Monterey Gourmet Foods

"Alight replaced our MS Access model which was maintained by an expensive third-party consultant. The use of drivers made changing assumptions very easy and we could see impacts flowing through to the P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow in real time."
Mike Underwood, Finance Manager

Rural Development Initiatives

"Alight is one of the best investments I've ever made. Just completed the budgets with the CEO, altering the model inputs as we went. Brilliant software, can't wait for the next version."
Ian S. McCall, Director of Finance

ForceLogix

"With only twenty hours of implementation consulting, we had an end-to-end model built. After two hours of training, I was working on my own... Alight was exactly what we needed to round out our business and nail down the numbers."
Patrick Stakenas, CEO

McNett

"Alight Planning software is great, but anyone can throw together a tool; to have also the staff, training, and systems to back up the software is unique. I have yet to meet anyone at Alight who isn't professional and intent on getting us up and running and realizing value from our investment. Thank you."
Travis Huisman, Chief Operating Officer

National Center for Family Literacy

"The Alight solution for budgeting, forecasting and reporting allowed us to break out of the constraints of our Excel-based models. Alight’s flexibility makes it possible to set up new benchmarks for program evaluation. The Alight support team took the time to really understand our needs and has consistently provided exceptional customer service."
Lyndy Alexander, CFO & Hilary Karrer, Controller
