We know to excel in today's competitive environment companies must have analytical insight across their organization for a clearer view of corporate-wide performance. And we believe the power of technology, combined with best practices and access to relevant information, helps companies gain a competitive advantage with improved planning, reporting, and analysis. A strategic EPM Roadmap is the first step to get you there.

MindStream Analytics' process for developing an EPM Roadmap utilizes a multi-step approach:

Step 1: Client Questionnaire Evaluation - a template detailing critical functional and technical requirements is provided to key stakeholders. Request for details include the following criteria:
• Current State Process
• Current State Environment (Tool-set)
• Calendar Cycle (Month, Quarter, Annual)
• Process/Environment challenges
• Reporting Requirements
• Drivers/Dependencies
• Data Sources
• New Process Definition
• New Functionality Requirements
• New Technical Requirements
• Workflow
• Support Plan

Step 2: Key Stakeholder Interviews - once questionnaires are completed, a formal interview process is conducted with our client's key stakeholders to accomplish the following:
• Gather information from all stakeholder groups
• Validate key stakeholder findings from questionnaires
• Whiteboard the process flow - Current State/Desired Future State
• Prioritize key requirements
• Evaluate systemic solution options for key requirements
• Develop consensus

Step 3: Functional Assessment of Existing Application Artifacts - we evaluate business process requirements, data movement and integration, and we review current Metadata models.

Step 4: Business Case Comparison Analysis - we review options for upgrades versus migrating to the Cloud versus alternative technology, and we analyze key functional comparisons, maintenance and administrative differences, and ROI comparison.

Step 5: Comprehensive Assessment - formal documentation is prepared by MindStream and reviewed by key stakeholders, highlighting the information gathered and critical points and planned next steps are summarized .
