Learning Objectives
Why do we organize this seminar ?
"Corporate Performance Management" was originally defined in 2001 as a new approach to business governance by Gartner. Gartner defined CPM as the processes, methodologies, metrics and systems needed to measure and manage business performance. In the six years since, this approach to management has been credited with many success stories and turnarounds. Investments in the space have reached over 12 million € just in software sales in Belgium last year. Total external investments - including consulting, implementation and hardware - are estimated to be up to 5 times that amount or over 100 million € just in Belgium alone.
Corporate/Enterprise Performance Management (CPM/EPM) includes functionalities such as Planning & Budgeting, Consolidation, ABC & ABM, Scorecarding & Strategy Formulation. CPM/EPM, sometimes also referred to as Financial Analytic Applications, have been the driver for an impressive series of recent acquisitions in the Performance Management space. Just to name a few: Oracle bought Hyperion, Cognos acquired Adaytum, Frango and Applix, and SAP bought Outlooksoft and now intends to buy Business Objects, which has bought SRC Software, ALG Longview and Cartesis.

This session will discuss what the rationale is behind the sector consolidation and why it matters for Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing professionals. It also will review how CPM functionality answers pressing business needs of most organisations, how the data warehouse plays a crucial role in implementing CPM and how this fundamentally changes the knowledge & skills required for integrated Performance Management.
This session will explain the functional concepts and issues CPM addresses, the functionalities required when implementing CPM, the key players - and their integrated product roadmaps - offering solutions in the market place.
This day will allow you to separate hype from reality and start building your own roadmap and architecture for implementing Performance Management in your company and integrating it with your Business intelligence architecture !
We will answer the following questions:
- What is Corporate Performance Management ?
- What is the relationship between CPM & Business Intelligence and how do they complement each other ?
- What are the drivers for the current interest in CPM ?

- What are the key players in the CPM space and how to select the right solution for my organisation.

and Cognos / Adaytum, Frango and Applix)
