The Challenge
Today’s business environment requires a change from traditional siloed approaches to performance management. To remain competitive and agile, companies need to respond to changes as they occur by adjusting operational activities to fit their constantly changing business environment. No longer is it acceptable to approach performance management optimization with a patchwork of disparate tools resulting in widespread latency and inefficiencies. Experts agree that effective performance management requires a completely integrated, collaborative and closed-loop solution composed of the following functions:

 
Plan – the ability to leverage and consolidate forecast and planning data from the source to create a single holistic view of business goals and objectives
Model – an environment capable of modeling complex business processes
Analyze – the ability to analyze and monitor planning and operational activities closely, while making adjustments in real-time
Collaborate – enable joint-cross functional problem solving and issue resolution
Execute – provide decision workflows with links back to the operational environments to close the performance management loop

The Solution
The SymphonyRPM platform provides unique capabilities for rapid performance management and decision processing, including real-time visibility into expected business performance, probing root cause and what-if analysis. Workflow and process capabilities help to automate the end-to-end process for fast execution. Whether you are a company looking to provide additional value to your customers or simply want to improve your own internal business performance, building performance management solutions with SymphonyRPM is the right choice. SymphonyRPM-based solutions enable managers at all levels of the company to make faster and higher-quality decisions. In contrast to traditional analytic approaches – SymphonyRPM-based solutions are focused on predictive analysis, rather than just reporting historical data.

The SymphonyRPM platform brings together for the first time all the required elements for building effective performance management solutions, such as:

• Dynamic rules-based modeling framework
• Iterative what-if scenario environment
• Robust collaborative Web-based analytic interface
• Real-time notification engine
• Powerful write-back to operational sources
