Announcing the Top Rated Corporate Performance Management Software for 2018
Today, we awarded the 2018 TrustRadius Top Rated badges for Corporate Performance Management. The TrustRadius Top Rated awards are unique in that they are an unbiased reflection of customer sentiment, based solely on user satisfaction scores. They are not influenced by analyst opinion, the vendor’s company size, popularity, site traffic, or status as a TrustRadius customer.
Corporate Performance Management Software is sometimes seen as an extension of Business Intelligence (BI). BI tools collect data from multiple internal systems and external sources for analysis, and usually answers questions about past performance such as what happened and why. Corporate Performance Management (CPM) is equally focused on data as an aide to decision-making, but is more forward-looking and is primarily about managing an organization’s performance. The focus of CPM is on forecasting, budgeting, financial planning, what-if analysis, and dashboards to show progress towards individual and project performance KPIs.
The CPM market is relatively mature, and most of the following tools have overlapping functionality. However, there are significant differences in emphasis. While many tools do both, some tools are more focused on the financial accounting cycle, while others are more focused on organizational performance and strategy.
Here are the winners:
