Welcome to the section of the blog that delves into the all-important topic of Budget Management – a vital field not only in our industry of bespoke software, app and web development, but also extending its relevance to virtually all sectors of business today.

A report by Grand View Research suggested that the global budgeting and forecasting software market size was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8% from 2021 to 2028.
