Evolution of Business Intelligence (BI) to Corporate Performance Management (BPM)

Reactive - Historical Orientation, “What Happened”

Time Delayed – Analysis happens after the fact using aggregated and detailed data.

Back Room – Small number of power users.

Stand alone & Disparate – little integration with operational systems or among various systems or among various BPM systems.

Proactive – Predictive future orientation including planning and modeling in addition to reactive.

Real Time – analysis and alerts of detailed data while event is occurring in addition to time delayed.

Analysis Everywhere – analysis is extended to a much wider user base.

In-line, Unified – Analysis systems closely coupled with operational systems and each other so that each informs the other.
