Excel and other spreadsheet tools have long been both friend and foe to commercial forecasters, but financial teams are increasingly exploring new options for commercial modeling. This is being driven by an evolving set of needs including team collaboration on a global scale, increased complexity of patient data and treatment paradigms, and increased availability of real-world and other data sources.

These next-gen forecasting tools are designed to meet new challenges of the digital transformation age like responding quickly to new information, working across global or cross-functional teams, leveraging multiple types of data from various sources, and the use of more sophisticated algorithms.
