This book focuses upon a few select organizations and consists of a series of in-depth case studies. For each case study the author interviews people from all sides of the organization: business users, finance, senior management and the IT department, to gain a complete picture of their Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) implementation from its earliest inception to the current state. Included will be timelines, organizational structures, EPM drivers, funding and cost models, methodologies and processes employed, and lessons learned. The real world accounts from these cases will be an invaluable resource to any organization hoping to improve or initiate their own EPM program.
