NATURAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE. NATURAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.

For almost 30 years, Corporate Planning from Hamburg has stood for providing simple

and flexible business management software solutions to the SME sector. Our solutions are

designed according to a unique architecture – the architecture of the tree.

Natural Business Intelligence –

trunk. The tree structure adapts to the growth of internal

business processes. It can branch out in any direction, giving

the business momentum. A single point of truth ensures

reliability and transparency. Each piece of information occurs

only once and can be retrieved at any time from any point

in the tree. In this way, we strengthen businesses on an

ongoing basis and prepare them for the challenges ahead.

Businesses are like living organisms. Within their surroundings

they must constantly change – in size, shape and appearance.

To do so they need sound structures that can adapt while

also forming a sturdy backbone. We have modelled ourselves

fundamental purpose and objectives, forms the roots and
