Executive Summary

The differences between business intelligence (BI) and performance management are less than subtle: Performance management is an analytical application, geared toward monitoring business operations, while BI is the over-arching strategic set of tools and techniques to make information actionable. Unfortunately, performance management is being juggled about by the vendors and research communities, as if the acronym were more important than the process. Enterprise performance management (EPM), corporate performance management (CPM), business performance management (BPM), and plain old performance management (PM) are all predicated on one thing: measuring performance.
