Frequently Asked Questions

How are topics different from solutions?

Topics are conceptual definitions — they explain what something is. Solutions are structured approaches — they explain how to address a business problem using those concepts. A topic page might define “Cash Flow Forecasting”. A solution page explains the components.

Are topics linked to packages?

Yes, where relevant. Each topic page links to solutions that apply the concept, and to packages where those solutions are commercially available.
