This approach provides a centralized source of financial information that can
be used for compliance and other financial process-related initiatives and is
an alternative to more costly approaches from other ERP providers that require
upgrades to underlying financial systems to really leverage their value. Organizations
considering DecisionPoint will still need to pursue other solutions providers
for statutory consolidations to fulfill the complete financial performance management
solution (example: Cartesis, Cognos, Hyperion and others for budgeting & planning).
