"Host Analytics is unique in its ability to address both strategic and financial CPM requirements, as evidenced by our ability to scale across a broad range of use cases."

This research analyzes how successfully the selected vendors support FCPM processes, as well as their use and adoption. The analysis differentiates the appropriateness of each vendor's solution based on organization size. This generally reflects use case complexity, and the related need for more diverse functionality and application customization. In addition, the use of each vendor's solution is evaluated for a particular business unit within a larger organization -- that is, as a departmental solution for organizations with $1 billion or more in annual revenue.
