Corporate Performance Management, CPM Software Systems

Corporate Performance Management (CPM), also known as Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), comprises the analysis, reporting and planning needed to understand and run your organisation more efficiently.

Corporate Performance Management consists of the following functional areas:

Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting - enterprise planning or corporate planning software enables you to dramatically speed up your budgeting, planning and forecasting processes. It allows you to build a business model of your organisation and then manage the future with confidence.

Analytics - COA Solutions' Corporate Analytics is a solution designed to enable finance professionals to monitor, analyse and report on the real drivers behind their corporate performance. The analytics software comes with hundreds of pre-defined best practice key performance indicators (KPIs) to get you up and running as quickly and easily as possible.

Business Intelligence & Reporting - Financial and Operational reporting provides you with a view of how you are performing, now and in the past. Comprising reporting, analysis, scorecarding, dashboards, business event management and data integration, it gathers and analyses information about your organisation's performance, no matter where that information is stored. It provides you with a comprehensive view of the factors affecting your business and thus enables you to make informed decisions.

Consolidation - COA Solutions provides finance teams with unmatched capabilities for managing the close, consolidation and reporting process. This can either be handled directly, using the flexibility inherent in the financial management systems, or via an automated, menu-driven application that is owned and managed by finance, which can consolidate diverse ledgers representing thousands of operating units and accounts into a common chart of accounts structure.

Used in combination, Business Intelligence, analytics and budgeting, planning and forecasting systems can provide you with a complete Corporate Performance Management solution, providing you with the capabilities you need to run your organisation more efficiently and effectively.
