About this title

Synopsis

This book will guide you step-by-step through the core components of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Performance Management applications, and provide you with real-world insight into the strengths and functionality of each. You will learn how the various components such as Spend Analytics, Strategy Management, Financial Information Management, Supply Chain Effectiveness, and Business Planning and Consolidation can be integrated and leveraged to provide a single “cockpit” for enterprise performance management. The unique scenario-based approach will give you a solid overview of the core functionality of each component while also delivering real-world insight on the strategies, best practices, and recommended approaches for implementation.

The seamless integration of strategy, execution, and performance management will come alive with an enterprise-oriented perspective refined from years of experience at the forefront of EPM, taking you from the development and articulation of KPIs through the deployment and implementation of the SAP BusinessObjects solutions in both SAP and non-SAP landscapes.

Whether you are an executive, functional department head, line-of-business manager, or a consultant, the practical guidance and real-world insight found within this book can help you understand how the SAP BusinessObjects EPM application can make a difference in your organization’s performance management strategy.
