STAMFORD, CT--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2015) - BPM Partners, the leading independent authority on business performance management (BPM), today announced the immediate availability of a new Performance Management Vendor Landscape Matrix (VLM) designed to provide a roadmap for the 2016 BPM market. For more than a decade, the VLM from BPM Partners has provided an overall rating for each vendor. The rating is based on end user input and detailed ratings across fourteen product attributes including product quality, performance, price/value, functionality, and support. This year, the vendor categories have been reorganized to more accurately reflect the way organizations think about their performance management technology purchases.
The report is available now. The VLM grid places 17 key vendors based on the scope of their offerings and progress/traction in the marketplace. Reflecting the maturing of this market segment, several vendors advanced along one or both axes in the grid and a handful of vendors merged or partnered with specialized solution providers. Surprisingly, there is even a brand-new vendor in the mix.
New for 2016 most vendor write-ups include a link to a BPM Partners curated webpage providing the latest news, third-party articles, and additional analyst reports for that vendor. This enables the report to remain current throughout the year which is essential in the rapidly changing BPM industry. There are also links to vendor demos and even job opportunities to expand the breadth of available vendor information.
The most popular feature though will probably remain the graphs comparing vendors across fourteen customer-rated attributes. "If you are looking, for example, to identify only the vendors that offer performance management coupled with business intelligence, that also have the highest ease-of-use ratings, then these graphs will make your job easy," said Craig Schiff, President and CEO of BPM Partners. "In the end, no other performance management analyst report offers so much information all in one place."
The VLM is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to purchase, upgrade, or replace a performance management system.
