Operational performance management made easy for SAP run businesses
Led by: Every Angle
Successful operational performance management is based on three pillars:
1. Measuring
2. Analysing
3. Improving business processes
- Defining and measuring KPI’s requires Rapid Prototyping (very little time between specification and showing the results)
- Improving business processes requires insight in the processes and in the relations between the processes (creating end-to-end supply chain visibility), calling for heavy analysis on highly detailed process information… not an easy task in an SAP environment
- Every Angle delivers these process insights and details fast (and if necessary ad hoc) to business users in SAP run businesses. Every Angle’s Rapid Prototyping and Closed Loop Performance Management makes operational performance management easy, with little need for IT support: 1. From idea to active KPI in minutes 2. From active KPI to improvement action in seconds
