With regard to the business drivers of CPM initiatives, Gartner states that “Corporate performance management supports cost optimization and growth initiatives. CPM is a suitable fit for nearly all organizations, and should be a priority initiative for CFOs to enable the finance functions necessary to deliver short- and long-term strategic benefits to the business.” With respect to cloud-based CPM deployments, the report adds that “There has been increased traction for SaaS-based CPM applications within midmarket organizations and, more recently, for larger, Tier 1 organizations. Gartner expects this trend to continue, and has elevated the importance of CPM cloud capabilities for CPM suite vendors.”[2]

“The cloud continues to transform and improve the way business is done today. We believe the inclusion of Host Analytics as the only cloud-based CPM Suite in this year’s Magic Quadrant is further proof that cloud technologies are having a growing and increasingly positive impact on the office of finance,” said Dave Kellogg, CEO of Host Analytics. “Our rapid growth, high customer satisfaction, and complete, cloud-based enterprise CPM suite give us to opportunity to do for the CPM market what Salesforce did for CRM and Workday did for ERP.”
