Please post that on the list, or "CC" me on the answer also - it's of interest....

Vic

I understand. What I'm trying to understand is WHY there is no interest in a BI tool? I find the lack of interest very curious. Not a critism. I'm just trying to understand the mindset of the executives that are not interested.

Any insight is appreciated. If you don't feel like putting it up on the list, feel free to email me directly.

Thanks

Kevin Fox

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.
