Efficient in-memory technology

In addition to functions, features and a comprehensible user interface, performance is a vital aspect of business management and Corporate Performance Management solutions. One of the most important characteristics of efficient Business Intelligence Software is being able to achieve reasonable response times without requiring substantial additional investments in the existing hardware. The in-memory database MemoLytics® enables users to work quickly and efficiently during day-to-day business, thereby giving them more time for analyzing data

Corporate Performance Management (or CPM) is an umbrella term used to describe software applications that automate your business’s non-transactional processes – specifically picking up where your ERP system leaves off. Typically, organizations start by using personal productivity tools like spreadsheets to manage processes like budgeting, forecasting and reporting. But unlike spreadsheets, Prophix’s software combines these processes and gives you the ability to develop and implement a broader vision of your company’s performance.

Prophix is an industry leader in corporate performance management

At Prophix, we believe that a single platform for all your CPM requirements is essential. We used our extensive domain experience to develop a single software product that addresses multiple CPM capabilities through a common user interface. We’ve also productized the functionality that in more expensive enterprise systems requires time consuming and expensive customization.

As you can see here, our unified solution supports the complete spectrum of CPM functionality including:

• Budgeting, planning and forecasting
• Financial, statutory and management reporting
• Financial consolidation
• Profitability modeling and optimization
• Strategic planning

Prophix provides a foundation to realize your CPM vision

Implementing a CPM solution may seem like a daunting task. But very few of our customers do everything at once. With Prophix you can grow. Start by replacing spreadsheets for your annual budgeting exercise and then use Prophix for the specific needs of your business. Needs that cannot be met by spreadsheets alone.

Ask yourself: does your finance department…

• use a combination of spreadsheets or homegrown products to manage the budgeting process, consolidate results or provide rudimentary analytics?
• spend a great deal of time developing, copying and formulating data into spreadsheets?
• scramble to provide information – often having to switch between a number of different applications – with the reports lacking consistency and accuracy?
• struggle to respond quickly to new regulatory or statutory requirements? 

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it is very likely that your finance department would find immediate business value with a CPM implementation. But the business value of a performance management deployment can be felt far beyond the office of finance.

With a CPM solution like Prophix, you can develop a system that will differentiate you from your competition: 

• Link your corporate financial and operational planning processes
• Enable any number of users to consume and contribute information – without adding complexity
• Identify areas where increased collaboration can improve business analytics and manage performance more effectively
• Plan at the required level of detail you need – no matter how granular or how frequent

Without question, we are moving towards a more data-driven culture. Expanded participation and more sophisticated analysis of data results in valuable business insight and increased organizational ability.

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), also known as Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and Business Performance Management (BPM), is a strategic approach to improving business performance.

“Methodologies, metrics, processes, and systems used to monitor and manage the business performance of an enterprise” as defined by Gartner Inc. “EPM in short represents the strategic deployment of business intelligence solutions”.

The EPM integrated solutions concept was recently conceived to define the actionable solutions that arise when information resides in concentrated sources within an organization. For Bitam, EPM is a top down framework consisting of 3 individual solutions: Business Intelligence, Strategic Planning and Financial Planning. The sole purpose of these combined solutions is to align the tactics, strategy and execution of business plans. The solutions are created on a unique platform utilizing a multidimensional model that supports a diverse array of capabilities that power the information through metrics, analytics, dashboards, and scorecards.

Some of the most known and adopted methodologies on performance management include: six sigma, balanced scorecard, activity-based costing, total quality management, economic value-add, and integrated strategic measurement. However, methodologies on their own cannot deliver results. They fail within the organizations operational processes because of poor execution and the unalignment of action and metrics. Bitam offers a complete suite of software tools that deliver the benefits of implementing and measuring strategic plans correctly.

IBM® Clarity 7 is a financial management solution that integrates budgeting, planning, reporting, consolidations, analytics, scorecards and dashboards in a single, unified application. The Clarity 7 interface features a look and feel similar to Microsoft Excel to encourage rapid adoption and provide an intuitive user experience in a web-based application.

• Strategy management: Generate initiatives, evaluate progress toward strategic objectives and provide project management functionality to close the loop between strategy and execution.
• Dashboards and scorecards: Provide visually intuitive information on business performance with overall or targeted views of both financial and operational data.

One product

One technology

Unlike its main vendors competitors, BOARD is not based on a patchwork of different products and technologies coming from multiple acquisitions and then forcibly integrated. The result of an organic development project launched in 1994, BOARD is a unique, integrated product, which enables organisations to oversee their entire Business Intelligence and Performance Management area using a single interface, a single application construction environment, a single technology and a single strand of know-how

It also helps them assess the potential impact of key events across the organization; simplify the creation and maintenance of relevant, dynamic plans and budgets that support organizational goals; and improve overall results.

Control costs without sacrificing growth.

Given the nature of current incentives (meeting quarterly or annual targets), the challenge is to meet short-term targets while preserving strategic growth initiatives.

Improve agility.

Organizations that can identify opportunities and threats more easily than their competitors, understand the implications, update strategy quickly and then execute that strategy consistently across the organization will be the winners.

Understand what drives cost and value.

Without this understanding, managers are unlikely to allocate resources appropriately and know where to make improvements. At best, it may generate suboptimal results; at worst, it could inadvertently and irreparably destroy value.

Identify and respond to risks and opportunities.

A focus on the "triple bottom line" of people, profit and planet drives increased brand value through innovation, improves internal efficiencies and accountability, and engenders the loyalty of consumers, employees and other stakeholders.
