Business Performance Intelligence: A New Dimension in Corporate Profitability and Accountability

Overview

Now, by mandate of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, CEOs and CFOs have to attest personally to the veracity of their financial statements. More than ever, companies need to align customers, suppliers and their own organizations in one strategic direction. That direction must be based on a holistic view of interdependent variables and tradeoffs across functions and organizational boundaries. Decision makers at all levels of the organization must be empowered to make effective decisions in rapidly reduced timeframes. The answer is business performance intelligence, a new business model that is more efficient and dynamic than traditional business practices.
