Market opportunity

According to Gartner, CPM is the highest priority in Business Intelligence. It is a rapidly growing market that grew by 28% in 2008 to $2Billion and is predicted to have a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 14.4% through 2011. Part of this reason is that only 50% of large organisations, 25% mid-size have a CPM system in place. The rest use spreadsheets or home-grown systems.

However many of the potential benefits of CPM will not be realized as the focus of CPM implementations is typically narrow. Most companies simply automate existing finance-oriented processes and fail to improve performance management processes across the organisation.

Similarly, most organisations ignore the strategic capabilities of CPM applications and so budgeting is done outside of the context of strategy.

According to Gartner, much of the reason for this is that most organisations are making the transition from legacy, manual or spreadsheet systems, and they lack the knowledge of what CPM application can do or how to deploy them. All of this means that there is a great opportunity for distributors / consultants, and particularly those who can demonstrate applications that fully allow the benefits of CPM.
