Cognos, the "business intelligence" facilitator, claims to be the first BI vendor to deliver a comprehensive framework for corporate performance management (CPM) – the strategic application of BI. Cognos has embraced CPM as the future of the BI market, as organisations look to align business strategy with execution across the enterprise. While other BI vendors offer point products that address isolated elements of corporate performance management, Cognos suggests that it is unique in its ability to deliver a comprehensive BI solution that can fulfil an entire CPM strategy, enabling the entire management cycle – planning, budgeting, reporting, analysis, and scorecarding. Increasingly for industry-leading organisations, CPM represents the natural evolution of their enterprise-scale business intelligence implementations. Gartner, the leading market research firm, defines CPM as "the methodologies, metrics, processes, and systems used to monitor and manage the business performance of an enterprise."
