Performance Management applications enable you to MONITOR key metrics, ANALYZE trends and exceptions and PLAN for changing business climates. Utilize an integrated solution that delivers timely information in the format you need, using tools most familiar to you.
Monitor (Dashboards / Scorecards)
Challenge: “I need at-a-glance visualization of the key business metrics in order to quickly understand where to spend my time.”
Understanding what is happening in your business landscape is a critical component of Performance Management. Once performance measures that support strategic initiatives are identified and incorporated into a solution, decision makers often spend time managing their business instead of searching for information. Microsoft’s PerformancePoint Services provide robust dashboard and scorecard capabilities that deliver personalized and contextual views that can help improve your business performance.
Analyze (Advanced Analytics)
Challenge: “How can I identify trends or correlations that may provide new insight into performance or help identify opportunities for improvement?”
Leveraging advanced visualizations (such as decomposition trees, heat maps, scatter charts, etc.) can enable power users to explore corporate information in a robust way, revealing new insight into business performance. The Analyze module is designed to help users make better decisions and execute more efficiently against corporate goals.
Plan (Business Modeling)
Challenge: “Our entire budget process is run on spreadsheets! We dread our budget season and the headache of aggregating departmental budgets, not to mention the risk of human error – there must be a better way.”
This scenario is all too common in the corporate world. However, companies can maintain the familiar and flexible interface of Excel and establish more control and rigor by leveraging a solution like PerformancePoint Services. Planning enables robust business modeling, allowing organizations to prepare for a changing business climate. Key functional areas addressed include:
- Budgeting
- Forecasting
- Consolidation
- Eliminations
- Currency Translations
- Financial Reporting
