Corporate Performance Management

Solutions Overview - Business Benefits

Sterna BPS delivers tremendous business benefits as summarized below:
Alignment of language, data, and targets across business communities. Real-time central visibility into deviations from target performance, and the financial impact of these deviations.
Significant reduction of data-to-action time latencies.
Agility to easily reconfigure the system, to react to changes in business processes or organizational structure
Quick time-to-value. Leveraging Packaged Libraries – predefined industry-specific analytics models – Sterna BPS applications are typically implemented in weeks, if not days. 
Alignment of Business Communities
Sterna BPS aligns an organization’s business communities to the company’s common targets by:
Focusing on the dependencies between operational activities and their financial impact
Through the use of the Sterna Money Surface™, managers prioritize opportunities based on pure financial impact, rather than on loosely correlated measurements of operational performance
Financial impact becomes the common thread between operational activities whose measurements are not directly comparable. For example, one manager might be focused on order fulfillment percentage, while another might be focused on factory throughput. 
Providing central visibility and common targets for performance monitoring
Common targets improve consistency of performance, and central visibility of that performance provides common understanding of the business situation 
The ability to easily monitor past, present, and future performance (through prediction models) reveals how the business arrived at the current situation and where the trajectory is leading to in the future 
Reduction of Data-to-Action time latency
Sterna BPS reduces the overall data-to-action time latency by:
Enabling managers to easily identify problems in real time
Data collection and initial analysis become automated, replacing manual processes to create numerous periodic reports, delivered to the user via a single, intuitive graphical user interface that is updated in real time.
Ability to drill down in real time into problem areas lets managers directly identify the resource that can resolve the problem
Eliminating debates over data, thus focusing decision-makers on choosing a course of action
With Sterna BPS, “Everyone comes knowing their own data and we can get down to analyzing them and seeing what we can do better right away.” 
(Barak Messa, CFO Supply Chain, Strauss Group)
