“For more than 18 months our team has analyzed feedback from the public sector and worked hard to develop and refine this new version of Questica Budget,” said James Orr, Director of Product at Questica. “Questica Budget 2021.2 introduces a truly collaborative and social form of budgeting where everyone who is authorized will have the power to input information. Then, with their data unleashed, agencies can modernize with analytics-informed budgeting and decision-making that increases accuracy, saves time, and improves trust.”
