Vendor Evaluation and Selection
With so many performance management solutions out there, how do you know which one is right for you? Since most purchases and implementations run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars choosing the wrong one can be a very costly mistake. Utilizing our 20+ years of experience we help stack the deck in your favor. No one has more expertise in this space than BPM Partners. We don’t directly implement, resell, or partner with any vendors, making us the ONLY vendor-neutral consultants in this space.
We help FP&A Managers and Controllers find their ideal budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, operational planning, financial consolidation and close, financial reporting, performance dashboard, and analytics solutions. Our fixed-price services reduce the risk, cost, time, and effort required. BPM Partners helps you educate your team, document your requirements, develop a detailed roadmap, identify and evaluate potential solutions, and select the optimal technology for your unique business and financial requirements.
