CPM emerges

Novare Software has released N4 Corporate Performance Management (CPM), which it claims is the first working software solution in the CPM market, defined as enterprise software solutions for intelligently managing all corporate, product and process performance improvement initiatives.

Created with Novare's process engine, N4 CPM is described as a platform-neutral, Internet-based, enterprise-scale software solution built using J2EE and XML technology. It is designed to enable the alignment, execution and optimization of business processes and product activities, Novare says, adding all business process activity can be automated and implemented in a single solution within N4 CPM as a physical set of best practice programs. Company initiatives can now be accurately aligned with corporate goals, producing the predictable results necessary to meet financial and stakeholder expectations, says Novare.
