Craig Schiff

I am very excited about this opportunity to share my perspectives and experience in my BeyeNETWORK Blog. For those of you who may not have read my articles and newsletters over the past few years, I hope you will appreciate a vendor-independent perspective on all things related to Business Performance Management (BPM). I focus on key topics organizations should consider throughout their BPM project lifecycle, from early stage requirements definition and justification, key measure development, vendor selection and finally, successful deployment and rollout. Of course, market trends and vendor updates will also be part of the mix. Please stop by on a regular basis to see what's new, and to make this interactive, please share your opinions. If you have a specific question, contact me directly at cschiff@bpmpartners.com.

Pulse of BPM is Strong

We have just finished analyzing and have started to release the results of the 2009 BPM Pulse survey. This year's survey, 'Performance Management Goes Mainstream', added questions about the impact the economy was having on the survey respondent's BPM plans. In addition it included questions about project status and overall satisfaction with BPM. The good news for vendors, consultants, and most importantly, end users of performance management is that satisfaction is high and the rough economy is driving more people to invest in BPM, not less. You can view this graphically here. In addition, a summary whitepaper with information on business needs driving adoption, feature/functionality priorities, areas of focus for operational analysis, spending plans, etc. is available here.
