Corporate Performance Management

More and more finance offices are viewing Corporate Performance Management (CPM) as a “must have” rather than “nice to have”. There is a pressing need to obtain more timely and accurate information necessary for business owners to effectively analyse and manage their business in an increasingly challenging environment.

The question is whether you need a single platform solution or a point solution. While most companies will not take a big bang approach to implement all the functions and processes at the same time, there is little doubt that all companies will look further into the future as to how the chosen solution can expand both horizontally and vertically to bring more return on investment to the solution.

The key considerations for choosing a ”unified platform solution” vs a “point solution” lies in: (1) how important it is to have a “single-point of truth” for your data (i.e. do you want to keep two sets of data and master data for budget planning and financial consolidation), (2) how much efficiency gain you can expect from having reports (both management and statutory) produced in MS Office directly from your CPM solution; (3) how often do you need non-financial data for analysis and reporting.

No matter which platform suits you, the main objectives are to have better business insight, data transparency, data integrity, and much improved quality of data that your office needed to improve internal and external reporting, shorten business decision-making cycle and perform predictive business planning.
