Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)

Enterprise Performance Management Overview

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) is defined as tools used by executive decision makers to focus on and enhance their business’ performance and profitability. To accomplish this, the performance management platform that is used must focus on the past with historical information, the present with current results, and the future via predictive analytics.

Today’s performance managers have to know what’s happened in the past and why it happened, know what the company is wanting to accomplish in the present, and align those present goals with what is predicted to occur in the future. Thus, various kinds of EPM tools (accelerated financial close tools, budgeting tools, business metrics, dashboards, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), scorecards, and other strategic management tools) are in high demand to provide this outlook that is critical to performing at high levels in today’s fast-paced digital world.
