SAP says EPM OnDemand is designed to complement existing SAP solutions for enterprise performance management (EPM), such as the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation application. Anyone can begin using the user interface on mobile devices such as the iPad. In addition, the EPM add-in for Microsoft Office can be used with EPM OnDemand, as well as the 10.0 version of SAP solutions for EPM.
With EPM OnDemand, organizations can lower costs by reducing the time it takes to deploy and maintain new applications that integrate with existing systems, says SAP. They also can address key business challenges such as enabling non-technical employees to manage processes, empowering employees to make more-informed decisions and providing more detailed visibility into operations and performance. Combining existing systems with cloud-based applications enables organizations to further reduce upfront costs by taking advantage of pay-as-you-go software delivered as a service, SAP adds.
