Agenda
Cognos At a Glance What is Performance Management? Challenges that midsize organizations face Cognos TM1 MidMarket Edition Demo Q & A
Why Consider Implementing FPM?
What would you answer to: Are your planning cycles long
and frustrating? Are your Management tools
ineffective and inefficient? Are your budgets and forecasts
inaccurate?
Would you be able to answer the question What are your most profitable
business units / products / market segments/ Channels?
How quickly can you answer? With what degree of confidence?

Challenges Facing Midsize organizations
Need to be more effective and efficient Unable to readily view and use their
information Over reliance on spreadsheets Need solutions to drive competitive
advantage Purpose-built BI and PM perceived as too
large and complex
Unable to respond to increasing demand from business Limited budget and resources Limited BI/PM experience Growing number of data sources and data
volumes

IT
Spreadsheets are the Incumbent FPM Solution
Comfort Factors: Pervasive, Powerful, Personal, Familiar, Flexible
A numerical Swiss Army Knife for many companies: Data Collection, Business Modeling, Analysis, Reporting
But Spreadsheets are a Breeding Ground for Risk!
Inaccurate: Almost certain to contain unintended errorsUntrustworthy: No confidence in source and accuracyInsecure: Security is monolithic, no audit trailCumbersome: No process automation, long cycles, unintuitive analytics, manual hierarchiesFragile: Lack of collaboration and repeatability for continuous processes (e.g. budgeting and planning)
