A workable blueprint for developing and implementing performance
management in order to improve revenue growth and profit
margins

Enterprise performance management (EPM) technology has been
rapidly advancing, especially in the areas of predictive analysis
and cloud-based solutions. Real Enterprise Performance
Management introduces a framework for implementing and managing
next-generation functionality for better insight, focus, and
alignment of EPM. This blueprint shows that EPM can have a direct
positive impact on revenue growth, operating margin, asset
utilization, and cash cycle efficiency.

* Introduces a framework for implementing and managing
next-generation functionality for better insight, focus, and
alignment

* Reveals that EPM can have a strong impact on revenue growth,
operating margin, asset utilization, cash cycle efficiency

Today's businesses have a great deal of data and technology, but
less-than-fact decisions are still made. Executives need a
structured framework for gathering, analyzing, and debating the
best ways to deploy capital, people and time. Real Enterprise
Performance Management joins IT and finance in a digestible
blueprint for developing and implementing performance management in
order to improve revenue growth and profit margins.
