BPM Partners 2017 BPM Pulse Survey -- Performance Management: The Next Generation is Now Open

STAMFORD, CT--(Marketwired - May 9, 2017) - BPM Partners, the leading independent authority on Business Performance Management (BPM) solutions, has opened the 2017 BPM Pulse survey. The survey collects information from end users about their experience with performance management applications, technologies, and vendors. Participants receive the final survey results and can use the report to benchmark their own projects. For 2017, BPM Partners added or modified questions to focus on the next generation of performance management - comprehensive, collaborative, connected, and cloud-based.

"The results of this survey can be eye-opening. Financial, planning, and analysis (FP&A) groups with projects of their own can review the results to learn from their peers and confirm they are on the right track," said Craig Schiff, founder and CEO of BPM Partners. "The results are provided at no cost to all qualified survey participants."

The BPM Pulse identifies important trends in the budgeting, planning, consolidation and reporting market, and reviews the major vendor solutions from a user perspective. This year, the BPM Pulse survey will spotlight top trending topics including:

• Finance end user self-sufficiency
• The role of business intelligence in performance management systems
• The choice between platforms/marketplaces and traditional pre-packaged solutions
• Ease-of-integration with source systems
• Public, private, and hybrid cloud
• Required functionality for budgeting, consolidation, and reporting systems

Now in its fifteenth year, the BPM Pulse provides the most comprehensive customer-based view of the Business Performance Management market. It is the only survey of its kind, looking at the business applications, the technology and user satisfaction.
