Wolters Kluwer CCH® Tagetik releases ultimate buyer’s guide for Corporate Performance Management software

Innovative and updated tool helps today’s CFOs, finance teams, and supply chain leaders make informed purchase decisions

Wolters Kluwer, a global leader in professional information, software solutions, and services is pleased to announce the launch of The ultimate buyer’s guide to Corporate Performance Management software, a free online guide that empowers consumers and the industry to easily compare Corporate Performance Management (CPM) software on budgeting and planning, analytics and reporting, close and consolidation and pricing.

Designed for finance leaders, the practical playbook includes a step-by-step process for conducting a successful software evaluation, including:

• Assessing and defining the current needs of your business
• Creating a project timeline
• Building a buying committee

“The biggest CPM trend for financial management teams we have seen is a movement toward technology-driven strategies”, said Ralf Gärtner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Corporate Performance Solutions, Wolters Kluwer. “Relying on outdated spreadsheets to run a business is no longer effective and the increase in remote work requires accessibility from a home setting and across multiple devices. We are thrilled to see firms in the US and globally explore and embrace our solution, designed specifically for the office of finance.”

The buyer’s guide will show how to quickly assess the current CPM software landscape and create a vendor short-list with these 4 tools:

1. CPM Software Checklist

2. Vendor comparison features within leading analyst reports:

a. Gartner: Magic Quadrant for Cloud FP&A Solutions
b. Nucleus Research: CPM Technology Value Matrix
c. Dresner: Advisory Services Technology Innovation Awards

3. Business Case Checklist

4. Sample RFP questions
