Just for my two cents, my former company was in the same frame of mind as Vic's. They liked the concept of financial BI but wouldn't commit to what was required. All they really wanted was a better reporting tool that then old FA module. There sure are a lot of excellent tools available, but without top management commitment, it's just tossing your money out the window. They would have been satisfied with DB2/WebQuery and it's dashboard.

PM is a good fit for a company looking to implement a financial BI tool.
In our case there was no interest. Accounting was looking for the
equivalent of FRX that could be implemented with least cost and least
effort. PM is overkill if all management wants is an automated tool to
get the monthly book of 30+ financial reports.

I'm curious. After looking at PM, what was the rational for not
selecting
and implementing?

I especially agree with the statements " Just proceed with your eyes
wide-open.
Make certain your C-level executives are involved. It would be nearly
impossible to correctly implement and fully utilize the power of the
application without their involvement."
We did not have that commitment. Management was only looking for an EOM
financial report writer, so we went with another solution.
