Who is the SAP BPM business user?
Currently a high level of interest in the SAP community exits to understand the Corporate Performance Management (CPM) roadmap. One important component of the CPM roadmap is the SAP Business Profitability Management (BPM) solution by Acorn Systems. In the past, the words “profitability management” and SAP were typically understood to mean the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) application within the Controlling module of the ERP system. There is ample opportunity to compare and contrast these two systems. See the blog from my SAP colleague Jean-Hubert Guillot, for starters. But the feature/function interpretation is not as meaningful without a grounding on how the users of these two applications are different. Dec. 20, 2007
