Why Cognos for FPM?
As analysts at AMR Research commented recently, “time and time again, our clients tell us they want performance management processes to provide actionable advice and trigger workflows across their application portfolios so that users can take remedial – or preventive – action rather than simply report history.” That is precisely the promise of FPM solutions from Cognos. While FPM makes its home in the office of finance, its effects are felt throughout the organization. Cognos FPM enables finance to advise operations about the financial consequences of business events quickly, and helps guide operations in their decision-making, so that decisions are aligned with the organization’s overall strategy.
