A complete Corporate Performance Management application will address the whole cycle, but there is certainly no need to implement everything in one go - indeed, we would strongly recommend that you do not attempt to do so!  Start with the area that is currently giving you the most business pain, the rest can follow on later.

Package Approach

To meet the demands of the planning and budgeting activities, we build solutions based on:

   - SAP BusinessObjects Planning & Consolidation, for major corporates

   - SAP BusinessObjects Edge BPC, for mid market companies

For reporting, analysis and management dashboards, we would typically consider:

   - SAP BusinessObjects XI and SAP BusinessObjects Edge for heterogeneous environments

   - Xcelsius for highly visual, interactive dashboards

   - Microsoft SharePoint Services, Reporting Services and Analysis Services, for Microsoft-centric businesses
