Designed to increase the value of organisations by enabling people to make better business decisions, PeopleSoft, Inc. has announced general availability of PeopleSoft Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), a comprehensive integrated suite of analytic business applications. With this announcement, PeopleSoft becomes the first enterprise application software provider to deliver a comprehensive suite of analytic applications to all industries. PeopleSoft claims to have introduced the enterprise software industry to analytic applications in 1997, with the announcement of PeopleSoft Performance Measurement, developed in conjunction with KPMG LLP and leading business thinkers Robin Cooper and Robert Kaplan. In 1998, PeopleSoft teamed with Andersen Consulting to co-develop a suite of profitability management solutions for financial service organisations. Since these introductions, and based on customer feedback, PeopleSoft has significantly expanded its commitment to delivering a broad suite of analytic applications that solve business problems. Now available today, PeopleSoft EPM enables users to make better strategic business decisions by bringing together operational and financial information, in order to increase customer satisfaction, optimise return on investments, effectively manage risk, maximise profitability, and reduce organisational costs. PeopleSoft EPM will include a series of PeopleSoft Workbenches, the PeopleSoft Balanced Scorecard, and additional analytical applications. These components will be generally available before year-end. PeopleSoft is on the World Wide Web at www.peoplesoft.com.
