Dresner’s annual EPM Market study puts Unit4 among the Credible Leaders in the space

Survey respondents represented span several geographies. North America accounts for the largest group, with 57 percent of all respondents. EMEA accounts for 27 percent and Asia Pacific for 14 percent (fig.1). Only 2 percent of respondents are from Latin America. 46% of respondents were from Finance, 19% from IT, and 15% from Exec management. Small to Mid-size organizations (0-1000) represented 45% of responses (more than 1000 55%.)

We’re very pleased to report that Unit4 has been ranked strongly against the competition, placing in the “Credibility Leader” category with a particularly strong showing for user recommendation, value, integrity, flexibility, and ease of integration and flexibility.

So what’s an EPM system?

According to the report:

“An enterprise performance management system is a key element of performance management. It allows an organization to plan for the impact of various internal and external factors on its future performance and business outcomes. This includes strategic, operational, and financial planning and forecasting. EPM systems also include reporting and analytics capabilities that allow organizations to set goals and objectives and monitor performance against those objectives, as well as satisfy many regulatory and statutory reporting requirements.

EPM systems can vary significantly in complexity and automation capabilities, from relatively straightforward spreadsheet replacements to sophisticated multi-user systems that support collaborative planning, provide a wide range of analytics and reporting capabilities.”

An EPM system is, therefore, an essential part of any organization’s operational success, particularly as projects become more complex, client and customer expectations rise, and profit margins become tighter.
