Classification: Product Evaluation
The aim of Corporate Performance Management (CPM) is to integrate a
number of hitherto discrete applications into a single environment that includes all the necessary elements of performance management. These
include: strategic and tactical planning; financial considerations such as
budgeting and consolidation; the use of key performance indicators to
support scorecard and analytic applications; the ability to monitor events on a real-time basis and to notify managers accordingly; and, of course, conventional query and reporting capabilities. Through acquisition and
in-house development Cognos has developed a range of products in each of
these areas. While each of these is available separately it is arguable that
their greatest strength is when they are used in conjunction within the Cognos
CPM Framework.
