The weak economy and recent financial scandals have required organizations to strengthen their financial controls, and minimize their room for error in spending. Sarbanes-Oxley, Patriot Act, and other new regulations are forcing companies to be more open and timely in their external reporting.

Despite improvements and automation in back office operations, managerial processes, such as enterprise planning, annual budgeting and financial analysis, were left largely untouched representing a significant drag on managers' productivity and effectiveness. Against this backdrop, CPM is emerging as a viable technique that delivers the acuteness and agility managers require for effective decision-making. Among other potential benefits of CPM are:

• Integrity in financial reporting
  
• Benchmark performance across business units
  
• Management visibility and controls
  
• Increased sales & improved overhead control
  
• Increased shareholder value
  

We believe that strategic adoption of Corporate Performance Management can help deliver on the promised benefits; however, this requires vision and commitment. To help enterprises and organizations launch and implement their CPM programs, Neubrain has developed a CPM Solution synthesizing our domain knowledge, technology expertise, and understanding of leading industry implementation practices.

Neubrain CPM Solution helps create a CPM roadmap and implement the required capabilities (people, process, technology) into an integrated platform. Neubrain CPM Solution incorporates:

• Neubrain CPM Implementation Methodology
  
• Pre-configured industry models
  
• CPM vendor scorecards
  
• CPM architecture blueprints and other intellectual capital including requirements documentation, functional and technical design templates
  
• Access to studies and leading methodologies (TCO, ROI, activity-based costing, economic value added, Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), industry benchmarks)

Neubrain can support a CPM launch from strategy development through the implementation support. With a quick-audit and a proof of concept we can evaluate the value contribution of the technology for improvement of your company's performance management processes.
