ABSTRACT: FROM LAGGING TO LEADING: IMPLEMENTING AN ENTERPRISE CONTINUOUS PLANNING CYCLE

With the demand to adapt quickly to changing markets in order to stay competitive and still operate at maximum operating efficiency, companies are recognizing the need for a continuous planning cycle that provides an accurate and real-time view of their operations. By creating an innovative, flexible, and dynamic planning cycle, companies can quickly recognize changes in the competitive landscape, model scenarios, determine the best alternatives, implement, and accurately measure results.

This white paper discusses the role of continuous planning within a larger Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) system, and explains how to successfully enable real-time continuous planning within your organization.

ABSTRACT: REALIZING THE POTENTIAL FROM FINANCIAL ANALYSIS APPLICATION INVESTMENTS

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) systems extend decision-making and accountability across the enterprise. EPM offers a holistic approach to business and management processes, and the framework for creatively responding to subtle business changes across the organization.

While EPM provides the framework for a new approach to business, it is only as effective as the data that feeds the system. EPM requires the confluence of data from across the business environment; information must be updated in near real-time in order to provide decision makers with an accurate reflection of the broad business ecosystem.

This white paper discusses how companies who have made strategic investments in Business Intelligence (BI) or Business Performance Management (BPM) financial analysis applications can leverage the key financial data stored in these applications to create a scalable, integrated architecture that will meet the requirements for true Enterprise Performance Management.
