EPM Summit 2010
February 10-12, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV
Column5 is excited to have successfully had the largest user conference dedicated to the BPC (formerly OutlookSoft) solution along with other EPM solutions. Over 100 customers and prospects from 42 companies attended this event at the Mirage in Las Vegas last week. This year's conference addressed all solutions within the Business User suite, and how EPM and BI can work together to deliver more value to customers. It was an ideal opportunity for customers and prospects to hear from SAP and Column5 subject matter experts on best practices, to receive the most up to date information on the solutions you are using, to network with other customers, and learn from others experiences.

SAP presented and was in attendance at the Summit! Anthony Reynolds, GVP of EPM at SAP, delivered the keynote address and sessions were presented by SAP team members from the Center of Excellence, RIG Team and Customer Advisory Council.

We had 5 of our customers present their case studies on:

• Cost Management Using PCM
• BPC Upgrade to v7
• Driver Based Budgeting within SAP BPC and the larger scale vision for the integration of BOBJ and PCM
• BPC for Global Consolidations
• Implementing Enterprise Planning at a Midsize Organization
