Your context

The decision was made to select a solution for supporting corporate performance management. You realize that many options are available in the CPM market space today, but you're not sure which option is right for you.

Challenges you will be facing

The new CPM system uses the data that is already available in your ERP or CRM system. Does it make sense to use the CPM solution that your ERP vendor provides and take advantage of data integration, or would it be better to select a best-of-breed solution? What business processes will the new system have to support, and which functionalities are required?

CPM vendors will typically tell you that everything is possible and the sky is the limit. Are they right, and what are they not telling you? How do you negotiate a satisfactory contract?

The new CPM system will be used by many different stakeholders within your organization. How do you make sure that the solution will match their expectations, and that they are able to use it in the way it's intended?
