WUERZBURG, Germany and STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BARC and BPM Partners have released the Global CPM Trends and Priorities Report 2025 or Global CPM Trends and Priorities Report 2025 / BPM Partners, which provides an in-depth look at the evolving corporate performance management (CPM) market. The report is based on a survey of 1,355 professionals worldwide. It reveals how companies are shifting to advanced planning tools and cloud-based solutions to address economic challenges.

Growing demand for predictive planning and forecasting

One of the report’s key findings is the growing interest in predictive planning and forecasting, with 53% of organizations planning to adopt these capabilities. Economic pressures are driving companies to update forecasts more frequently and with greater accuracy. This marks a significant shift in how organizations approach performance management.

Cloud adoption accelerates, but regional disparities persist

Cloud-based CPM tools are being widely adopted, with 68% of organizations in Asia and 62% in North America using cloud solutions. However, European organizations lag behind, with only 42% using cloud-based planning. The cloud is helping organizations improve collaboration and accelerate planning cycles, especially in distributed environments.

Integration of financial and operational planning gains momentum

As companies look to improve decision making, the integration of financial and operational planning has emerged as a priority for 33% of companies. This integration provides a more holistic view of business performance and aligns operational activities with financial goals for better forecasting and execution.

Key Insights from Industry Experts

“Predictive planning and cloud-based CPM solutions are increasingly essential for companies facing today’s economic challenges,” said Craig Schiff, CEO of BPM Partners and co-author of the report. “The ability to update forecasts frequently and with greater accuracy can mean the difference between staying ahead or falling behind in a volatile market.”

“Companies are now recognizing the value of integrating operational and financial plans, and this trend is only going to grow,” added Dr. Christian Fuchs, Head of Data & Analytics Research at BARC and co-author of the report. “By providing a more complete view of the business, these integrated solutions help companies monitor performance more effectively and make data-driven decisions.”
