Helsinki, Finland, 2014-06-16 08:27 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QPR Software’s Corporate Performance Management tool QPR Metrics was rated as “Facilitators” in Nucleus Research Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Technology Value Matrix published in April 2014. Nucleus Research defines Facilitators as companies offering an application which is intuitive and easy to use, driving rapid adoption with limited training requirements.
"We’re delighted that Nucleus Research has recognized QPR Metrics in the CPM Technology Value Matrix. This recognition is particularly valued as it shows our efforts in developing a business process analysis, balanced scorecard, and compliance solutions which is flexible and easy to deploy on a global scale. QPR can offer a comprehensive and integrated portfolio covering corporate performance management, enterprise architecture, business modeling and automated process discovery", says Maija Erkheikki, VP Channel Sales and Russian Business.
Nucleus Research defines corporate performance management as a suite of capabilities that support operational tasks including the combination of planning, budgeting, and forecasting (PBF), financial close and reporting, profitability, cost management, spend management, and financial consolidation. Despite the relative maturity of core CPM, a new generation of software solutions (including cloud based solutions) that are easy to use and quick to install have led to a new mid-market interest in CPM.
Nucleus Research Corporate Performance Management Technology Value Matrix evaluated the usability and functionality that end users have received from CPM vendors. Usability composite scores are based on a number of factors, including intuitiveness of the application, availability of role-based interfaces, training requirements, and productivity impact on users. Functionality composite scores are based on the breadth and repeatability of functionality in the core application, the availability and ease of integration of add-on functionality that delivers additional benefit, and the vendor’s investment in innovative functionality outside the application that will deliver additional benefits.
In January QPR Software released QPR Suite 2014, which includes the software tools for enterprise architecture, business process analysis and performance management, as well as a practical supporting methodology, the QPR Enterprise Architecture based Operational Development Model.
