Moscow City boosts performance with QPR ScoreCard Prefecture of central administrative district of Moscow has implemented QPR Software Plc's performance management software QPR ScoreCard for managing its performance. The final decision was made after a successful test of 5 months. QPR Scorecard will be part of prefecture's integrated real-time management system. With QPR ScoreCard the executive authorities of the prefecture manage, control and analyze in real-time the key indicators including the solutions for tactical schemes and strategic goals of the district's development. In the first phase the integrated real-time management system is used by prefecture's executive authorities. The use will be expanded to entire management later.

It is responsible for providing local government service to the heart of Moscow with almost 1 million permanent inhabitants, and almost 4 million daily visitors.
