December 20186 The sustainability of any business is dependent on its overall performance, and performance management practices must evolve to stay abreast with rising demands for a greater agile goal-setting, continuous feedback and development, and timely recognition of achievements. Given the changing business dynamics and increasing global competition, enterprises require enterprise performance management (EPM) tools that can examine and gauge performance, in addition to infusing practices that create a competitive differentiator. Through various integrations with emerging digital technologies, EPM is changing the game for enterprises via the automation of manual tasks, accelerated key financial processes, and better alignment between finance and operations.As more organizations gain access to an ever-growing number of internal and external data sources, there is a growing demand for EPM solutions that can quickly adapt to new market ecosystems and provide actionable insights. Allowing continuous evaluation, planning, execution, and feedback collection, EPM solutions bring a competitive edge to enterprises via the ability to find patterns and identify failures and opportunities. These cutting-edge solutions will persuade organizations to rethink and redefine business models, operations, workforce needs, and risks. In this scenario, the industry leaders will look for right technology partners that can aid them to meet the dynamic performance needs based on changing markets. Keeping this in mind, we at the APAC CIO Outlook have come up with this edition on Enterprise Performance Management. Our panel of industry experts and the distinguished editorial team has selected the Top 10 vendors in this space. We also spoke to industry insiders to understand how innovative thinking and technology can drive the EPM sphere. We trust you enjoy reading this edition.
