The Benefits of Enterprise System Consolidation for Business Performance Management and Business Intelligence

Vendor consolidation in the business performance management (BPM) marketplace is on the rise as companies seek BPM and business intelligence (BI) tools with a centralized perspective. This trend is evident in the preliminary results  of the 2007 BPM Pulse Survey (still being conducted), which reveal that 62 percent of companies with a BPM initiative in the works are implementing it as part of a standardization or consolidation initiative. The benefits of a reduced vendor set include lower costs and decreased maintenance requirements. Fewer vendors also make it easier for end users, who enjoy enhanced analysis capabilities and experience a consistent user interface across applications.
