Welcome Business Performance Management Newsletter Subscribers!

Business performance management initiatives can be invaluable to any organization, provided they are well-planned and properly executed. However, these initiatives are not inexpensive. Organizations must plan carefully to ensure that they have the required resources, time and money for business performance management. My article, The Investment in Performance Management, reviews the BPM investment landscape, citing statistics from the 2006 BPM Pulse Survey.

In the second article, The Value of Standards in the BPM Market, John Colbert reviews the work of this group, its goals, the BPM Framework and the group's next key initiative.

I encourage you to make the Business Intelligence Network your premier source for information regarding business intelligence, performance management, data warehousing and information quality.
