What is Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)?

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) refers to the processes, methodologies, and technologies that help organizations plan, budget, forecast, and report on performance. It connects financial and operational data to support better decision-making and long-term strategy.

What does EPM Ready do?

EPM Ready helps organizations design and implement Enterprise Performance Management solutions. We guide companies from early-stage planning — defining scope, data structures, and system requirements — through solution design and software selection, ensuring the implementation aligns with business goals and financial processes.

Why should I talk to experts before implementing an EPM system?

Many EPM projects fail or become costly because they start with unclear goals, poor data design, or lack of alignment between finance and IT. Speaking with experts early helps define the right scope, avoid rework, and significantly reduce implementation costs.

What kind of companies benefit from EPM Ready’s services?

Our clients range from mid-sized businesses to global organizations seeking to modernize their financial planning and reporting. We work across industries — including manufacturing, construction, non-profits, higher education, and professional services — wherever structured data and financial clarity are essential.

Do you work with specific EPM platforms?

Yes. We specialize in leading EPM technologies and modern planning platforms, helping clients select, design, and implement tools that fit their business. We also provide independent guidance when evaluating software options to ensure the best functional and financial match.

Can EPM Ready help if we’ve already started an implementation?

Absolutely. Many clients engage us mid-project to review solution design, data integration, or performance issues. We can assess existing setups, refine models, and ensure the system delivers the expected insights and efficiency.

How does EPM Ready reduce implementation costs?

By focusing on preparation and design before software is purchased, we help organizations define clear requirements, avoid unnecessary customization, and streamline project execution. This approach consistently leads to lower costs and faster adoption.

What deliverables can we expect from an engagement?

Depending on the phase, deliverables may include scope definitions, data architecture blueprints, business requirements documents, project plans, and implementation roadmaps — all designed to bridge the gap between strategy, process, and technology.

Do you offer support after the implementation?

Yes. We can act as an ongoing advisory partner, providing system maintenance, optimization, and knowledge transfer to internal teams — or simply assist in preparing the organization for a smooth handover to an implementation partner.
