Performance management is an important enterprise-wide initiative for monitoring and managing business performance.
While often driven by financial departments, the goal of a performance management initiative is to achieve organisational strategic objectives.
At the core of performance management is a plan that creates a strategic vision, clearly communicating organisational goals, establishing tactical processes and metrics, enabling everyone in the organisation to achieve set objectives and constantly monitor and manage the results.
ICL has now launched Information Builders` WebFOCUS Performance Management Framework that provides a blend of tools that can facilitate the execution of performance management initiatives. WebFOCUS is Information Builder`s business intelligence tool.
Information Builders` WebFOCUS Performance Management Framework provides a full set of capabilities that enable an organisation to monitor, analyse and manage performance within every aspect of the business.
It gives a flexible and modular framework for an incremental implementation, therefore even allowing companies with budget constraints to achieve benefits tailored to specific needs and the ability to keep building on those benefits.
"The technology platform is built on a scalable Web architecture and based on industry-leading enterprise business intelligence technology," explains ICL`s Systems Integration and Business Intelligence solutions manager, Twanette Jurd.
"It incorporates rich functionality and supplies the proven ability to communicate performance results and metrics to everyone in the enterprise, driving performance to new levels of excellence," she says. "We believe the unique attributes make it today`s most comprehensive and compelling performance management software, featuring a basic function-set of analytics, graphs, KPI indicators, and feedback functions that serve as a foundation that can be customised to quickly and flexibly help each company meet its unique goals," notes Jurd.
It gives complete insight into enterprise performance with comprehensive access to virtually any data source. A flexible data access architecture provides a blend of staged or real-time data. It also includes Scorecard technology certified by the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative (BSC).
"The WebFOCUS Performance Management Framework provides an enterprise view of an organisation`s overall performance, simplifying the steps that a user needs to complete to find critical information in their organisation. Due to the scalability of our offering, the WebFOCUS Performance Management framework is a leader in its ability to communicate strategy and performance throughout an organisation," concludes Jurd.
