FEATURED ARTICLE
Staying Competitive in Today's Information Flooded Market
What makes a truly outstanding corporation, one with which you look forward to doing business? The common denominators in today's markets contain fixed markers, beyond the boundaries of which there is little to differentiate one from another. As the world becomes smaller due to rapid and wide dissemination of information, the playing field upon which we execute our business strategy becomes more level. Competitive differentiators become more difficult to claim. One more web site, one more 'differentiator'...truly, in the art of doing business, there is nothing new under the sun. Differentiation comes about in the execution of process – the 'how', not the 'what' of your strategy.

An Overview
Across every industry, reporting has the same premise: a way to display data in an efficient and presentable manner. As technology improves, internet connections get faster and more data is able to pass through, and the number of data users with access to information is expected to grow exponentially. More and more companies are using this opportunity to relay information about their company to their employees, potential investors and the general public. This information dissemination comes in many forms, from many vendors and with many features.

Capital Expense Planning
If your company is like most, you are in the throes of planning for next year. While the implementation of these strategic, operational, and capital plans is not likely to occur until many months from now, it is crucial that you get a head start on the planning process. Perhaps even more important, your planning process needs to incorporate tools for keeping both project managers and executives abreast of progress in order to ensure maximum return on your investments. This article addresses not only the critical success factors for producing and managing capital budgets, but also addresses what happens once a budget is approved. For example, how do you identify and proactively respond to projects that are significantly over budget? Do you ‘borrow’ funds from other projects? Modify the initial scope? Reschedule the construction timeline? Too many organizations lose sight of actual expenditures and time to completion, making it difficult to assess the benefits realized. The ability to capture and report—in a timely and accurate manner—on all fluctuations in expenditures, budgets, and schedules is critical to realizing your projected return on invested capital.

"FREE LUNCH" WEB SEMINARS
Realizing the Value of Business Performance Management - July 13
It is common knowledge that business performance management (BPM) simplifies a company's business processes (of which budgeting is a key aspect) and streamlines the sharing of data to provide greater accuracy, enhanced accountability and increased ownership by business units, but there's much more to BPM than the basics! Taking your organization to the next level requires a full understanding of BPM as well as the best practices and processes for implementation. More>>
