Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Performance Management (BPM): What's Right for You?

If you're a manufacturer, analytics will help you understand if you're using company resources effectively to increase sales while reducing costs. The question is, can you get away with the analytics embedded in your ERP system or should you opt for a business intelligence (BI) for manufacturing solution? Today's feature blog post will help you decide.

Today's feature article looks at both the similarities and differences between BI and business process management (BPM)—and provides an analysis of the trends and vendor choices in both of these growing market segments.

For a look at how new, less complex, more user-friendly BI applications are putting powerful BI tools in the hands of more and more company employees, check out today's feature white paper.

Also today, we introduce a new blog post category that focuses on issues and opportunities in sales and marketing. Check out the inaugural posting. It's from one of our TEC VPs and looks at the search for the elusive "perfect lead".
