Systems

BI transforms data into information useful to make decisions. There are a spectrum of BI tools from simple report writers to Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). CPM not only includes BI but also strategic planning, scorecarding, budgeting and forecasting and consolidation.

The products have been segregated by tier based on target customer and price. Within each tier, we have further classified which applications are applicable to the systems as well as the distribution model. See the filter box above to sort for the desired tier, application, and distribution model.
