Welcome Business Performance Management Newsletter Subscribers!

My article, Business Performance Management Dashboards, is intended to help you focus your efforts and successfully navigate the pitfalls when moving your dashboard initiative forward. While dashboard initiatives are certainly challenging, they are becoming increasingly valuable for measuring the success of an organization's strategy.

In the second article, How Software Vendors Approach Business Performance Management Challenges, Mike Haley discusses a framework for evaluating commercially available technologies which claim to enhance the implementation of business performance management in organizations. The framework is based on the main objectives for a BPM solution, which are communicating important goals and activities throughout the organization and determining how well the mission critical objectives (measures and scorecards) are being achieved.

I encourage you to make the Business Intelligence Network your premier source for information regarding Business Intelligence, Business Performance Management, Data Warehousing and Information Quality.
