CPM- Roads ahead

The market landscape for corporate performance management suites continues to dramatically change and grow. Users should evaluate vendors carefully according to business needs and their broader business intelligence and performance management strategies.


CPM suites can bring greater rigor, accuracy and transparency to many management processes, such as budgeting, planning and forecasting (BP&F), financials and regulatory reporting (and associated compliance challenges), and they can deliver a better understanding of the drivers of corporate profitability. The current economic climate is driving demands from the board of directors to minimize costs and maximize profits, and organizations are increasingly deploying CPM applications to help management teams make the right strategic vendor selection decisions.
