Quantum Loop

Chuck Teller, vice president of product strategy­financial management and EMP solutions at Pleasanton, California-based PeopleSoft, counters by saying, "Enterprise performance management is our play; it's what we focus on. BI vendors are a tool play." BI companies often say that ERP vendors have not made the leap from dealing with transactional data to dealing with analytical capabilities. ERP players respond that in fact their products now function as, in Teller's words, "a complete blueprint of transactional, analytical, and reporting solutions."

Given that companies can easily spend up to $1 million to deploy most forms of enterprise CPM in the first year alone, buyers will have to look hard at all the options. —R.B.
