Thought Leadership

The recipe to successfully execute a project is to have a right mixture of skills within the team and a desire to deliver success shared by all members of the team. An EPM upgrade project is no exception. However, as the technology is changing so fast, there are various challenges, lessons learned, unlearned, and relearned. These contribute to extra layers of complexity when executing EPM projects successfully and this is particularly true when running projects to upgrade from SAP BPC Standard to SAP BPC Embedded.

Column5’s EMEA EPM Summit 2016, which took place on 30th June and 1st July 2016 at St James’s London, United Kingdom, promised to facilitate a platform to bring together customers, SAP product development and management teams (SAP BPC and BFC), and EPM Practitioners. The primary objective was to enable these participating groups to share their views, experiences, and future goals to take their EPM journey to the next level. As a first time participant and a presenter at the Column5 EMEA EPM summit, I was really thrilled to see the response from all these groups and as a result the final outcome. In this blog, I would like to share my views on the Summit and the key takeaways.
