Researcher, strategist touts business performance management

SearchSAP covered the Hyperion's Solutions 2006 Business Performance Management conference, Here are few excerpts from the same:

Driven by the belief that "actionable insight is a right," Hyperion Chief Strategy Officer Howard Dresner called on the more than 4,000 attendees at Hyperion's Solutions 2006 Business Performance Management conference to join in achieving true "information democracy."

"Six months ago, I left Gartner [where he served as a senior research fellow] and I joined Hyperion to start a new revolution, one that will start to deliver on the promise of actionable insight for all," Dresner said. "And that revolution is the BPM [business performance management] revolution."

According to Hyperion, BPM combines four areas of performance management: planning, financial management and control, analytics, and query and reporting. This enables greater business agility by bridging the information gap between IT and business.

"We are sick and tired of not knowing and having to guess," Dresner proclaimed against a Revolutionary War-themed backdrop. "We are sick and tired of multiple and inconsistent answers to a single question. We are sick and tired of people hoarding information.... And we are sick and tired of complex systems that are virtually impossible to use."

At the conference, Hyperion president and CEO Godfrey Sullivan also renewed his company's commitment to be good enterprise citizens. "We hear it from you every day. You absolutely need good interoperability with Microsoft; you have to have good interoperability with SAP. We are investing a lot more money now to do just that."

This news sits well with Jim Farley, IT project manager with Morristown, N.J.-based honeywell International Inc.

"It's encouraging to see the strategic direction of the company where they are partnering heavily with SAP," Farley said. "From [our company's] perspective, we are going down an ERP SAP implementation strategy, and that's important to us."
