SAP Business Objects Portfolio with SAP Application
EPM 10 is the result of multiple acquisitions BusinessObjects made in the financial management space before the merger with SAP:
- SAP Business Objects Strategy Management (formerly of Pilot Software)
- SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation (formerly Business Planning and Consolidation by OutlookSoft)
- SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (formerly of ALG Software)
- SAP BusinessObjects Intercompany and SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation(formerly of Cartesis).
- EPM 10 include SAP BusinessObjects Financial Information Management (FIM), which bridges information from SAP and non-SAP sources and EPM applications.Other nonfinancial, operational applications in EPM 10 include SAP BusinessObjects Spend Performance Management (formerly Spend Analytics) and SAP BusinessObjects Supply Chain Performance Management.
The common BI capability that came with the Pilot Application
Server (PAS) layer is now part of a broader set of EPM 10 applications (and
some Governance, Risk and Compliance
[GRC] 10 applications, such as SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management
and SAP BusinessObjects Sustainability Performance Management). This means that
objects and information stored and aggregated in, for example, SAP BusinessObjects
Strategy Management, can be shared more widely with SAP BusinessObjects
Planning and Consolidation, SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management and other
financial and operational EPM 10 solutions.
EPM 10 comes with starter kits for various initiatives (such as IFRS, liquidity and capital expenditures planning), but also for specific industries, such as Banking/SCM/Insurance/Investments.
The Excel Interface of the EPM add in can be used to access data from multiple sources such as Planning and Consolidation and Profitability Cost Management (PCM).
