Our Vision

Column5 is a special company. Our team has a unique perspective of performance management vision and customer satisfaction, stemming from our experience working within software vendors. Whether it’s OutlookSoft, SAP, Oracle, Hyperion, Cognos or others, many of our team members have been in leadership positions in these companies and made significant contributions to the products and customer successes that defined the Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions. The volume of experience we have is unrivaled, and we have applied lessons learned collectively across hundreds of implementations to develop processes and a guiding vision that leads to much higher business value for our customers.

Balancing the ability to adhere to core values and behaviors as established by one’s strategic objectives, with the capability to make timely adjustments to take advantage of the right opportunities or insulate against unforeseen challenges, is essential to a company’s survival. At Column5 we feel a sense of urgency to create the systems that help our customers meet exactly that standard, and we accomplish this with our integrated EPM vision.

With integrated EPM, companies can achieve the following capabilities:

• End to end EPM process
• Align data & reconcile plan processes
• Accelerated information: more relevant & timely
• More actionable information
• Reduction in planning & budgeting cycle times

This vision is what sets Column5 apart from other SAP Partners. We feel so strongly about making the business value of integrated EPM uniquely enabled by SAP EPM that we put on an annual Summit for customers (not just Column5 customers) to enable all SAP EPM users to get the most out of their solution(s). At Column5 we strive to deliver unparalleled value to our customers and empower them to inspire performance for their companies.
