This document outlines an agenda for a seminar on making budget processes more efficient using Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and the Prophix software. The agenda includes introductions, an introduction to CPM and Prophix, a product demonstration, and a question and answer session. Some of the challenges finance departments face that CPM addresses are accessing more data, needing to forecast more often, and requiring collaboration. A demonstration will showcase how Prophix can help with monitoring performance, planning, reporting, and strategic decision making.
