Business Performance Management

BPM Analytics

As Business continue to change at an ever more rapid pace. Volatile market dynamics have immediate impact on a global scale. Organizations today are faced with higher degrees of uncertainty, forcing them to reinvent management practices, and to develop superior capabilities to manage the current performance and long term sustainability of their business. Corporate Boards and regulators are placing greater demands for transparency and accountability on these organizations. These new demands are piled on top of the traditional risks of globalization, deregulation, technology advancements, and commoditization. Data is also becoming increasingly more complex, less insightful and more difficult to analyze. As a result, executives are facing more pressure to ensure that information about their operations is correct and consistent. They must have confidence in their processes and in the results that they are reporting.

Business Performance Management (BPM) , otherwise termed as Corporate Performance Management (CPM) or Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), is tuned toward optimization of overall business performance and achievement of business goals. It enables an organization to enhance the management of their business performance through the aid of reports, analytics, kpis that help them measure and monitor efficiency and success of their business activities.

What if you could have timely, accurate, and relevant intelligence with which to plan and control your entire organization? What if you could have the most important metrics to measure the performance of the organization at your fingertips? What if all of your management systems could work together to provide what you need,when you need it? There are many benefits to BPM:

Augmented organizational flexibility
Improved communication
Stakeholder alignment
Governance and compliance
Better preparation for changes
Superior business management
Connected business processes
Defined Business process framework
Accountability and visibility
