𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 “𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹” 𝗯𝘆 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 Lucanet's acquisition of Causal marks a strategic move to strengthen its financial planning capabilities by bridging gaps in operational planning. This acquisition is part of a trend in the CPM (Corporate Performance Management) market toward functional consolidation, with vendors aiming to offer integrated solutions. Lucanet’s expansion adds Causal’s agile, cloud-based planning tools to its portfolio, appealing to mid-sized firms seeking unified financial and operational planning solutions. However, while this acquisition promises benefits, challenges like integration complexity and adapting to larger organizational needs remain. The competitive landscape, particularly in Central Europe, is heating up with both local and global players.
