EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IS WRONG

COUNTING BEANSThe traditional analytics offerings – big and bulky and still relevant for some analytics jobs but inflexible, slow and expensive.

EXCEL HELLAnalytics on 250 separate Excel documents. Risky, complex and understood by only a select few within an organization.

COLLABORATIVE AND MOBILE BUSINESS PLANNINGNew business performance management offerings leverage the cloud on any device, involving people from across the business to drive a data-driven culture.

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions have definitely evolved through the ages.

Today you need new ways of looking at your business and modeling change — not the unkept

promises of slow, expensive and unreliable legacy solutions. There is a better way.

THEY NEED REAL-TIME INSIGHT, CONTEXT AROUND DATA, AND COLLABORATION CAPABILITIES TO TAKE THEIR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Cloud is the way smart businesses do business – and it’s here to stay.

IDC[2] research predicts cloud technology spending will grow by 25 percent in 2014, reaching over $100B.

Mobile is now the de factoway for business users and consumers to devour and act on data.

Modern business analytics use context to pinpoint where to place resources so that your business runs more efficiently. Would you rather use a GPS or a fold out map? We thought so.

Your finance department is only one department – but by integrating all departments and roles within your organization, budgeting and forecasting becomes dynamic and effective. No more Excel Hell – need we say more?

COLLABORATION IS KEY

CFOs need modern solutions to realize the full potential of their business –

they need platforms built for the cloud, for any mobile device, and

designed to take in real-time data from virtually any source.

REAL TIME INSIGHT FROM BIG DATA AND MODERN SYSTEMS GIVES CFOS THE DATA THEY NEED TO IMPROVE DECISIONS, REDUCE RISK AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Using old data is like choosing your clothes based on yesterday’s weather report. Hope you don’t forget your umbrella!

CONTEXT AROUND DATA – YOU NEED IT TO EXTRACT VALUE

They need solutions that replace annual budgeting with planning that are always current, saving time and resources and driving a culture of performance across the company. Only then will they move from bean counters to business performance management champions.

According to a July 2013 Gartner [1] report, CFOs stated their #1 priority in the

coming year is growth. And they state that business analytics and performance

management will be their most important tool for achieving growth.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO STICK WITH TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE PACE OF BUSINESS? And will you wait until your competition adopts them and you are left behind?

THE JOURNEY

WHY LEGACY EPM FAILS AND MODERN EPM PREVAILS

IS YOUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT READY FOR THE FUTURE?

The era of CFOs as gatekeepers who primarily oversaw transactions is over. The dark days of information trapped in systems only accessible by the few in finance are numbered.

To grow aggressively, companies need a modern approach to business analytics. They need applications that are cloud-based, mobile-first and field ready.

ADVANTAGES TO A CLOUD-BASED, MODERN APPROACH TO BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & ANALYTICS

With legacy systems it can take weeks to close the books, but businesses

today move in real time.

ADVANTAGES

THE AVERAGE COMPANY SPENDS 4 MONTHS BUDGETING USING LEGACY TECHNOLOGIES. Error prone spreadsheets are usually to blame, and they’re costing companies 4 months every year that could be spent more productively.

THE AVERAGE COMPANY SAVES 25 DAYS by transforming their analytical processes with modern business performance management that enables fast, accurate, and pro-active decisions.

According to Gartner[1], CFOs are involved in 84% of all IT decisions. Making the right technology decisions has never been more important.

According to a recent survey by research and consulting firm McKinsey[3] & Co., more than a third of C-level executives predicted that successfully leveraging big data – along with mobile, social and cloud computing – would boost their operating profits by 10% in just three years.

The ability to see and share actionable visualizations that dynamically tell the story of a company’s performance in the context of data driven decisions that make sense of massive amounts of internal and external data in real-time. Data that everyone can see, share and understand.
