| Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) systems are designed to support management reporting. Management reporting brings together financial, sales, inventory, supply chain and operational data into one place, allowing the systems to facilitate trend and variance analysis by combining actual consolidated financial data with budget, forecast and long range planning data. The ability to compare current actual results to past and current targets allows companies to hold managers accountable for their organization’s performance.
Electronic information systems drive the operations of today’s companies. Whether it is a point of sale system in a small retail outlet or full blown integrated ERP system running one the of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, operational systems collect the valuable transaction level data that tell companies what their business is doing. They provide details about all of the systems and processes that produce, sell and deliver products. Because these systems’ scope is limited to a given process or function, past and present, they cannot tell us whether each function of the company is meeting expectations or how well the overall company is performing. So, while operational reporting systems are essential to running today’s companies, management reporting systems are necessary to help companies measure performance, create accountability and drive profitability.
