Media: Performance Management Webcasts

BI and BPM in the Mid-Enterprise

The terms Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Performance Management (BPM) are becoming more recognized by mainstream finance and IT executives and staff in most large enterprises around the world. But these concepts and tools are not only applicable to large, publicly held companies. Small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) have many of the same challenges as large ones, albeit on a smaller scale and with fewer resources available to address these challenges.

In fact, one could argue that as businesses evolve from their simple beginnings to early-stage expansion and growth, resource management and performance management challenges are even more acute, as scarce capital must be allocated and invested carefully at each stage. Join Business Finance Magazine and Hyperion for an informative webcast where we'll review the results of a recent survey of BI and BPM requirements of small and mid-sized organizations.
