Forecasting

Create forecasts with flexibility • Update baseline plans with latest actual numbers and inclusion of future state numbers • Compare multiple sets of data (e.g. actuals, plan, forecast versions, budget, strategic plan) • Create rolling forecasts that set constant time horizons into the future • Leverage rolling forecasts to automatically split current year between actual and forecast and automatically update all reports as time progresses Driver Based Planning

Store multiple sets of assumptions and establish “Driver Formulas” • Load drivers such as Currency Rates, Costs, Volumes and Prices • Integrate drivers directly from source system (e.g. ECC, BW) through integrated data and master data models • Maintain Driver Formulas through user defined Business Rules • Calculate Formulas on-demand or real-time

What If Analysis, Seeding & Modelling

Ability to move data between Scenarios for “unofficial” analysis • Move data from Source to Destination as needed • Take your data from Actuals / Forecasts / Budgets and seed into your current scenario to avoid Zero Based Budgeting • Creating new versions is very easy in BPC. Users/administrators, with appropriate security, can utilize a Data Manager Package to walk through the process. New versions can be seeded based on existing versions.

Mobile Performance Management

Leverage mobile solutions including SAP BusinessObjects Mobile and Sybase Unwired Platform

SAP EPM Unwired mobile client as entry point into SAP solutions for EPM 10.0: • Next-generation user experience on the iPad • Complementary SAP solutions for EPM 10.0 • Hybrid support for on-premise and on-demand scenarios that are seamless to the end-user
