Effective AnalyzeThe foundation of performance management is the analysis of current and past performance. The purpose of analysis is to determine current performance levels and identify optimal achievable performance levels. Analysis requires proper analytical modeling techniques. Performance Chainbrings the power of time series analysis to the desktop of every manager. The sophisticated analytics are hidden behind a user-friendly graphical interface, allowing even nontechnical managers to analyze and understand the complex information they must use to manage performance. Get meaningful analysis - such as true marginal rates - at the touch of a button. PlanPlanning identifies how optimal performance levels will be achieved. Using the results of the analytical models, managers develop realistic initiatives and forecast their impact on the performance gap. Performance Chainmakes forecasting a snap. All systematic, repeating factors (such as seasonality) are automatically forecast. The models make default forecasts based on current levels and trends. Managers modify forecasts using charts and controls - no calculating, no typing. Historic performance is shown for context, and all forecast assumptions are explicit and explained, making review and evaluation of forecasts simple and reliable. PerformAs plans are implemented, performance is evaluated and compared to plan. Managers are motivated to perform, and plans are evaluated and adjusted in response. Performance Chainprovides unique variance analysis, allowing managers to determine as quickly as possible if performance is on track. Managers can revise their forecasts while reviewing results, making reforecasting so fast you approach continuous planning. No more tedious, endless planning cycles - just monitor and respond. Reforecast or modify plans whenever the need arises; no need to wait for next year's planning cycle. Performance
